It is also considered to be <strong>one of the most important buildings in Madrid<\/strong> regarding <strong>modern architecture<\/strong>. The Nuevos Ministerios area would never be as it is if it were not for the building of <strong>81 Castellana<\/strong> which has become <strong>a reference point of modern buildings<\/strong>. Today, in our section <strong>Corners of Madrid<\/strong>, where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/impressive-casa-de-garay\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">we have already viewed Casa de Garay<\/a>, we will write about 81 Castellana.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28009\" src=\"https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/01-castellana-1.jpg\" alt=\"81 Castellana\" width=\"650\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/01-castellana-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/01-castellana-1-300x204.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>A BUILDING WITH IDENTITY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some time ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/torres-blancas-rare-building\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">in this blog we wrote about Torres Blancas<\/a>, and we mentioned the fact that it was the most avant-garde building in Madrid. Its architect, <strong>Francisco Javier Saenz de Oiza<\/strong> is the same one who <strong>designed 81 Castellana<\/strong>. This project took a decade from its presentation to its completion in 1981. In 1971, <strong>Banco de Bilbao held a design competition<\/strong> and the most outstanding architects participated.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28011\" src=\"https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/02-castellana-1.jpg\" alt=\"81 Castellana\" width=\"650\" height=\"740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/02-castellana-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/02-castellana-1-264x300.jpg 264w, https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/02-castellana-1-439x500.jpg 439w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Francisco Javier Saenz de Oiza won. The building which <strong>was designed to house offices<\/strong>, is <strong>107 metres high<\/strong> and has <strong>28 floors<\/strong> supported by concrete platforms. What strikes most about this building is <strong>the steel and glass fa\u00e7ade<\/strong>\u00a0which allows to see the city from the inside. The most challenging part of the design was that underneath this building there existed a railway tunnel. Hence, the architect planned the construction of <strong>two great hollow concrete pillars which flanked the railway tunnel<\/strong> and held the skyscraper. When we look at this building, <strong>its rounded corners<\/strong> attract our attention. In our opinion, these rounded corners <strong>soften what would have been the sharp arrises of the building<\/strong>, giving it a modern and unique aspect.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28012\" src=\"https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/03-castellana-1.jpg\" alt=\"81 Castellana\" width=\"650\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/03-castellana-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/03-castellana-1-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT CHANGES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2014, the whole BBVA team and workers moved to <strong>the new complex built in Las Tablas<\/strong>.
