Banc Sabadell | Mateo Arquitectura

In one corner of this great space, we lay out the main entrance to the tower block. At the corner of the floor plan there is a triangle. The space is black but full of life, veined with colour. One side of the triangle marks the border, the point of control. Another, annexed to it, offers an unusual view, slightly raised above the rest.

Control and openness.

Banc Sabadell asked us to intervene in the public areas of the building that Francesc Mitjans designed in the 1950s. On this occasion, the client wanted to unify the two entrances to the tower block.

In response to this brief, the project closed the entrance on Carrer Balmes, channelling all entry and exit to and from the building through the main entrance on Avinguda Diagonal, designed by Josep Lluís Mateo in 2007.

En un rincón del gran espacio, organizamos la entrada general de la torre superior.
En la esquina de la planta, un triángulo. El espacio es negro pero vivaz, con vetas coloreadas. Un lado del triángulo construye la frontera, el control. Otro, anexo, ofrece una vista insólita ligeramente elevada sobre la unidad
