Staggering Creativity Comes Alive at the Ultra-Contemporary Health HQ by Coll-Barreu Architects

This contemporary creation of Coll-Barreau Architects houses the headquarters for the Department of Health in Bilbao, Spain. From its jarring, jagged shape and gleaming glass angles, to its prominent place on the city skyline, this futuristic design almost looks alive as it unfolds among its traditional counterparts. A dark, gothic influence looms ominously – yet beautifully – as the design appears to move while reflections pass across its windowed facade. An oblique tower rises from a vast base, which houses the lobby, hall and office space. A “double skin” encloses the design, serving triple duty as a thermal, sound and fire barrier, not to mention lending the modern design its unique contours. Coll-Barreu Architects
