This linear corridor runs along the top of the roof and has the appearance of a lantern, drawing you in from the outside. From the inside the views are accentuated with volumes that curt across the building. Each floor contains a meeting room that protrudes out over the landscape, offering views of the bay and the Gata Cape Natural Park. Both buildings exceed the minimum environmental standards and have been designed to meet energy classification A, as well as the American LEED certification and the European Green Building Certification.
