Imagine a space that combines history and modernity in an impressive reinforced concrete structure. This is the remodeling of the former Boetticher elevator factory in Villaverde, designed in 1934 by engineer Eduardo Torroja. In this project, the team of architects led by José María Churtichaga has respected the colossal original structure, including its emblematic concrete vault roof. Known as "Banda Ancha", this 10,000-square-meter center for permanent and temporary exhibitions, together with another 5,000 square meters of annex buildings, will become a pioneering center for new technologies and a focus for the rebalancing and recovery of the area. Discover how history and modernity combine in one place.
Remodeling of the old Boetticher elevator factory in Villaverde, designed in 1934 by the engineer Eduardo Torroja, in which the colossal concrete structure has been respected.
It is a large rectangular factory with three bays and a large central nave. Built with a reinforced concrete structure. With a high concrete vaulted roof, with skylights to achieve natural lighting inside. Its roof is the most emblematic image of the complex.
Team of architects formed by José María Churtichaga, Joaquín Lizasoaín, Rolf Brülisauer and Mauro Doncel, with the collaboration of Ophelia Mantz. He was in charge of developing the project, which he called "Banda Ancha",
The intervention was respectful of the original structure of the building that houses the permanent and temporary exhibition halls.
In addition to the 10,000 square meters of buildable area of the warehouse, there will be another 5,000 square meters of adjacent buildings, making it a pioneering center for new technologies that will act as a focus for the rebalancing and recovery of the area. In addition, the area will have new green spaces and tertiary uses.
