The new headquarters of Murcia's water management company EMUASA wishes to be an example of a sustainable and bioclimatic office building that aims for zero energy consumption and waste while creating a comfortable and healthy space for its users.
This commitment to the environment is projected as the image of the building through a biophilic design and exposed timber structure that will undoubtedly create an innovative image for the city.
The EMUASA headquarters aims to be an example of an architecture that is committed to health and comfort of users, by places that meet the physical and emotional needs of users, buildings that not only prevent us from getting sick but also generate health.
The emotional influence of space as a possible factor of physical healing reaffirms the definition promulgated by the WHO on health, as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of infirmity or diseases.
We spend almost a third of our lives working and this is why it is so important to generate adequate workspaces that make people enjoy
going to work and, consequently, increase productivity in the company. In the proposal for the new headquarters of EMUASA, a single open space is proposed that shares the vast majority of company employees. This open space is divided into sectors in a “soft” way, first with the introduction of a support band in the central area and second, with the introduction of several natural patios.
