3. History Background of the company
The building was designed for a mobile telephone company, and rises from an initial idea from the clients to create a “warehouse with offices”, i.e., they requested a box with a single door… a building closed to the exterior with a versatile interior that could be exploited for a variety of uses without a space hierarchy. The idea of closing the building to the exterior was mainly needed for security reasons.

25. Pathway : The diagonal access pathway is
gradually closing, and dramatically
reducing and evolving from urban to
architectural/building scale. In this
access path a slim slice is generated
that serves as the only reference with the human scale. This path to access finishes off with a small patio in which the main spatial opening is towards the sky. The diagonal line continues after the reception, crossing like a bridge between the two main volumes of the building. This connection that links both elements is also the link to the upper level.
