AGENCIA TRIBUTARIA CAFETERIA + AUDITORIUM

General Plan

Located in Madrid, this space was conceived as a spatial narrative inspired by Lucio Fontana’s concept of the “cut.” The design transforms the cafeteria and auditorium areas into dynamic environments where every element emerges from the conceptual idea of spatial incisions and voids.

The architecture features clean lines and strategic openings that create a dialogue between light and shadow, solid and void. These “cuts” in the structure serve not only as aesthetic elements but also as functional components that guide movement and frame views within the space.

The use of materials such as polished concrete, glass, and metal enhances the interplay of surfaces, reflecting light in ways that change throughout the day. This dynamic quality imbues the space with a sense of fluidity and transformation, aligning with the visionary approach of the architects.

The cafeteria and auditorium are designed to adapt to various functions, offering flexible configurations that can accommodate different events and gatherings. This adaptability underscores the project’s commitment to creating spaces that are both functional and conceptually rich.
