Titania Tower Building

The Titania Tower was built on the same site as the Windsor Tower, which was destroyed by fire in 2005 and subsequently demolished. Only the structure of the subway floors was preserved. The tower is located in the center of Madrid's business district.
Commissioned by El Corte Inglés and designed by architects Pablo Muñoz and Pedro Vilata. With a height of 103.7 m and a total of 27 floors (5 of which are subway and used as parking), the first seven floors (ground floor + 6) are used by El Corte Inglés as a shopping center, offering a total of 21,133 m2 of retail space. Above this volume, there are two technical floors that house various machinery (air treatment installations, fans, pumps, etc.) that serve the shopping center and the offices. There are two other technical floors on the upper part of the building, on floors 20 and 21.

The office area rises from a rectangular base and is fully glazed in greenish tones, offering 14,430 m2 of floor space.

The Titania Tower was designed to be an example of sustainability. It incorporates the latest technologies that guarantee the highest energy efficiency while respecting the environment: Due to its orientation, the glass cylinder has been equipped, in part of its curvature, with a modular system for solar control that, at the same time, incorporates photovoltaic cells for the production of clean energy.

Automatic motion-based lighting systems, free-cooling systems for air conditioning, the use of energy-saving lamps and systems for efficient water use all contribute to reducing energy consumption by more than 60%.

The new tower structure is made almost entirely of steel sections and is bolted at all joints. Only one large rigid core acts as a stabilizer containing elevators and a staircase. Almost all the columns are made of HD-laminated sections, of which more than 1,000 tons of S 460-M quality have been supplied.
