Central Workshops for Titsa bus company

A metal body that crowns an artificial landscape

Located near to Santa María Del Mar on the motorway junction TF-1 connecting with the North/South carriageway, this industrial building, used as a workshop and a depot, arises out of the hillside, wedged into the ravine, inserted into the topography, with the sea in the background using as its reference the communicating roads around it. A metal body emerges from a stepped concrete base with draping landscaped covers. Herein the company’s offices centralize their administrative functions guaranteeing effectiveness to the whole set up.
