Selgas Cano Office Madrid
May 5th, 2009 | Published in Architecture | 12 Comments | by Fifi
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 ….!
