Ecology, sustainability, quality and freshness: the fundamental values of Sanlucar Fruit are the basis for the new office building designed by Spanish studio sanahuja&partners, that reinvented the company’s headquarters in Pucol (Valencia).
To fully represent Sanlucar Fruit’s identity, as a first step the architects planned an extension with the addition of a new building and then the restructuring and renovation of the existing facilities was started, ultimately uniting these two spaces into a single office complex.
Thus, this impactful new space, although somewhat fragmented on its northern and southern sides, blend into the current building through the large hall in their centre.
The major expression load of the project is concentrated in this articulated space by flooding it with natural light to feed the vertical and horizontal gardens it houses, within which the main staircase of symbolic character passes, making it no longer just a practical element but a crucial element in the aesthetic of the interior.
The basic idea of the interior design was to create very flexible spaces with a high degree of comfort for its permanent users and visitors.
Finally, the use of natural materials combined with the most efficient systems and installation conception, (passive) solar control systems, lighting domotization or electric vehicles, as well as the introduction of vegetation as a natural and healthy ornamental element, make this building a commitment to the most sustainable architecture from an economic, environmental and social point of view.
