The Botín Foundation has established its new offices in Madrid by choosing a 1920s industrial building, which was for years a Silversmith workshop.The peculiarity of this building has given us the opportunity to create a reference point. With this in mind, the new project attempts to retain the spirit of the original industrial character, in keeping with the same philosophy of the Foundation, which is a driving force for developing talent.The principal objective of the architectural concept is that once again, natural light can enter the whole building, which has remained in the dark since its last use.
