Selgas Cano Office Madrid

May 5th, 2009  |  Published in Architecture  |  21 Comments | by

If you are a forest person, it’s gonna be hard to believe in better office environment than the one that architectural firm, Selgas Cano, recently built to work out of, in Madrid.

It’s really simple tube, sunken into the ground, with a long window on one side. The architecture is very good and a little goes a long way: Sinking the building into the ground is an ancient strategy to improve building insulation; Inside, the recessed floors make it seem as if you’re completely immersed in the woods, when you’re looking up.

The Dutch photographer Iwan Baan took wonderful pictures of the structure. Take a close look ….!

    I had got a dream to make my company, but I didn’t have enough of cash to do that. Thank heaven my close mate advised to utilize the credit loans. Thence I used the financial loan and realized my old dream.

    Its fantastic. Would love to work there. You dont see much nature at all if youre in a typical city office. This would be more than popular I think

    Wow, what a great office. It looks fantastic and I find its the perfect place for a graphic design agency.
