Nowadays, it is the new restaurant of La Maruca which offers a marine-like spot in the heart of the capital. This alludes to the city of Santander, where the group of restaurants originated from; whilst paying homage to Santander’s rationalist architecture, taking inspiration from the “Isla de Torre” Sailing School or the Royal Maritime Club.
The biggest challenge of the project was the structural solution of the cantilever platform. The old lookout was set up on a fissured mass of rock resting on an inclined plane. For this reason, our approach was based on a counterweight buried in the solid terrain in order to relieve the less stable rock area.
Due to its length of 12.8m and the location on the precipice, the platform offers completely new perspectives for landscape and bird watch, and the view of the famous hydroelectric station of Aldeadávila is spectacular. At its furthest point there is an opening covered with a steel grating that allows a vertical view over the cliff.

Looking for a formal simplicity, EG home demonstrates how even a white wall can be a protagonist and not just a simple background. The plaster frames that embrace the walls fight symmetry, breaking it where possible, turning at every corner, and take over any spaces that are not always theirs. All under the eyes of wall lights, inviting the visitor to keep going.

The office tower is located on one of the main avenues through downtown Vancouver and straddles two distinct neighbourhoods: the business centre dominated by glass high-rises and the cultural and the entertainment district scattered with low-slung buildings like museums, theatres, and sports complexes. The Vancouver Public Library in front and the Centre for Performing Arts next door, both by architect Moshe Safdie, have similar materials and motifs that consolidate their civic character at the boundary with the office district. Their low and horizontal profiles, together with the library’s generous plaza facing the site, offers a relatively spacious urban setting on the cusp of two zones.
