The building meets the highest standards of energy efficiency, as reflected in the achievement of LEED BD+C Core & Shell Gold, WELL Core Gold, WELL Health & Safety, Wiredscore Gold, and Smartscore certifications.
The renovation has improved the accessibility, functionality, and energy efficiency of the space, transforming it into a benchmark rehabilitated building.
Originally designed as an icon of Madrid’s architecture, the respectful renovation that transformed “Torres Agora” into “One Agora” has preserved its emblematic image, enhancing user interaction and well-being across its 31,735 square meters, distributed over 16 above-ground floors and two basements.
Improving accessibility has been one of the fundamental pillars driving this renovation, to the point that it became the catalyst for the rest of the interventions carried out in the building. The incorporation of the new street-level access has not only improved accessibility but also turned the large blank wall of the parking lot into the new representative face of the building.
This intervention has opened the doors to the creation of new communal spaces in the lobby, where a striking grandstand connects the access floor with the garden floor. These new spaces include meeting rooms, a wellness room, a work café, and a restaurant, which open to the outside, where a pleasant garden accompanies the building throughout its entire path.
Functionally, the standard floors have also been modified, aiming for versatility in contrast to the initial rigidity where the two towers were separated and connected only by walkways. The new proposal has succeeded in uniting both towers, creating a continuity where the interior transition from one to the other is barely noticeable, providing a flexibility that did not exist before.
