Sustainable Office

Large buildings, constructed along straight lines, with a contemporary and even futuristic appearance, are a common sight in many large cities. And it is precisely with the future in mind that we should probably ask ourselves how many of these buildings were designed and constructed on the basis of sustainability. The Pórtico Building is considered to be one of the most sustainable office block in Spain. Designed by the renowned architects Rafael de la Hoz and SOM Architects, it holds BREEAM certification (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology), which assesses aspects such as energy efficiency, waste management, transport, use of water and the types of materials used.
