SP Berner Headquarters in Valencia, Spain by RUBEN MUEDRA ESTUDIO DE ARQUITECTURAJanuary 31st, 2018 by Sumit Singhal

A singular staircase that is regularized in terms of morphology and refined in terms of materiality, with a tinted glass rail that gives it greater lightness while entering an interesting dialogue of reflections and symmetries with the boxes of glass where the new rooms are located, destined to meeting rooms and offices attached to the CEO, and whose incorporation to the program was necessary because of the exponential growth of the company.

A current and future project according to the entity of the company; with a completely renewed aesthetic in which the simplicity and the purity of lines prevail, where natural materials such as wood are handcrafted and, in which it is possible to adapt the program to the current needs of the company while maintaining – or even extol – both the unique staircase and the triple height where it is located.
