López Landa, has successfully completed the works for the refurbishment of the ground floor of the AEGON building -an emblematic company in the insurance sector- in Príncipe de Vergara street in Madrid.
The aim of the works was to renovate the existing space on the ground floor of the building. The new ground floor is converted, with a multifunctional concept, into a visitor centre whose space is organised to receive visitors around this new “Flagship”.
The great coordination of the LÓPEZ LANDA Madrid team, with the team of Architects and the people in charge that AEGON itself has involved in the Project, have been fundamental for the success of this emblematic work.
The reception booth and its distant image disappears and is replaced by an open and friendly space with low furniture and visual continuity. The access is made by modifying the façade plane to orient it towards the Flagship, as part of an operation that affects the entire curtain wall of the building.
The full double height of the floor has been recovered, and in the central area there is a new consultation area and areas for informal meetings. This new area is a multi-purpose space that is configured with two overlapping blue glass “curtains” that do not touch the floor and can be raised and lowered separately or together to define different meeting spaces.
Next to the entrance, an area has been created in which armchairs and tables can be used for waiting or chatting, with the possibility of having coffee, drinks and so on. A second area of similar use has also been created with the employees in mind, a new office set up for this purpose in a room at the back, logically away from the entrance.
The intervention carried out on the façade has also been relevant. It consisted of extending the glazed surface, seeking the maximum height. The alteration of the façade line at points where the geometry of the glass skin’s imprint is broken and the work carried out on the main entrance mean that the taut plane of the glass is broken to produce a prismatic element that gathers the windbreak at the entrance.
Finally, it is worth mentioning the environmental control installed in the interior space by placing a fixed solar protection element along the entire façade to prevent direct sunlight on the glass.
In short, a multifunctional space with an avant-garde image and maximum comfort, as could not be otherwise in this special space that we have built for AEGON.
