Growth reimagines the building at Plaza Manuel Gómez-Moreno nº 2 as a cohesive architectural intervention. It extends its life through a rehabilitated base and a symbolic vertical expansion. An open ground floor connects to the city; above, a light, exoskeletal volume offers flexible, luminous spaces. A new façade enhances daylight and efficiency. Connected to the Alfredo Mahou Tower, the project respects context and topography, creating a calm, future-ready workspace that breathes and speaks of architecture.
