Woermann Hybrid Complex

Woermann Hybrid Complex

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. 2005

CLIENT: Ferrovial Inmobiliaria
ARCHITECTURE: Abalos & Herreros, Casariego-Guerra
ARCHITECTS IN CHARGE: Iñaki Ábalos, Juan Herreros, Joaquín Casariego, Elsa Guerra
PROJECT TEAM: David Sobrino, Renata Sentkiewicz, Eduardo Cadaval (competition)
COLLABORATING ARTIST: Albert Oehlen

Apartments with generous ceiling heights, akin to traditional ones, enjoying views like those we might have from a natural observation point, vast planes protected by long artificial shadows cast by generous brise soleil and natural ones in form of plant motifs in the thickness of the glass. Landscape offices where you can contemplate the city and the sea enjoying unique views. The Woermann Tower is a virtual forest from which to enjoy the utopia of living and working immersed in a hybrid landscape. The tower is also a telamon that nods in admiration for the landscape it contemplates. On the ground floor it steps back, ceding space to pedestrians whilst soaring up with its public facilities to treetop height. With this vegetal and anthropomorphic conception we aspire to represent the culture of our times. The Woermann Tower sets out to embody the illusions, desires and fantasies of a society that seeks to discover a compromise between nature and development, an intense form of life faithful to the landscape.
