The key to Circularity is based on rehabilitating buildings

The visionary design has transformed the FARO building into an icon of identity, integrating nature through vegetation that envelops the entire environment and with very low environmental impact. The project stands out for its focus on energy efficiency, human well-being and productivity, creating an exceptional work environment that is much more sustainable than new buildings.

REHABILITATION ENGINEERING

Example of Sustainable Strategies and Renovation Architecture in Madrid

Strategically located in the heart of Madrid, FARO is positioned as a benchmark in energy efficiency and sustainable rehabilitation, with an outer skin composed of aluminium slats for sunlight control.

FARO not only represents a structural rehabilitation, but a comprehensive development that raises the standard of energy efficiency and sustainability, marking a new corporate dimension in the urban landscape of Madrid and becoming an example of construction at a national level.
