Poblenou is known as the neighborhood of a thousand chimneys, a legacy of its industrial past that still today preserves a strong entrepreneurial spirit. It is a district where tradition and modernity, craftsmanship and technological innovation coexist, forming the backbone and driving force of the 22@ technology hub.

This dialogue between craftsmanship and modernity is reflected in every detail of the project —from the materials, such as extruded terracotta pieces produced through new industrial processes acting as solar filters, to the copper tones that recall the façades of the former factories that once characterized the neighborhood. The building’s morphology integrates seamlessly into the urban fabric with deep respect for the surrounding structures, among them the former factory La Escocesa, built in 1852.

The new building offers 37,080sqm of office space distributed across three large volumes. Natural light is filtered from the core to the curtain wall façades through a structure of post-tensioned concrete slabs.

The interiors, open-plan and flexible, are designed to respond to contemporary needs. The workspaces are complemented by common areas such as outdoor terraces, a lounge, a multipurpose hall, locker rooms, and other services conceived to encourage social interaction, community life, and collaborative work.
