The 220 m long building, 60 m. wide and 3 plants, sets the access to the building in ground floor, and lets two upper floors to be entirely dedicated to workspace. Total building height is 15mts, being ground plant 4mts high and 5,5mts the workspace floors.

Commitment for sustainability and getting healthy workspaces has been translated into diverse landscaped courtyards, also into technological systems and painstaking material solutions, achieving the LEED GOLD rating, issued by the USGBC (United States Green Building Council).

“Thinking big” spirit is been translated into serial, prefabricated and large scaled solutions, allowing tight resources economy. A building designed to foster collaborative work in spacious, simple, kind and optimally illuminated environments, just working as background to allow textile goods to be the real protagonists.
