Canyon

Canyon: Revamped Bilbao factory into an engaging space, featuring a canyon-inspired nexus, student-centric design, and lama-inspired facade.

Canyon, a revitalizing endeavor in Bilbao's Zorrotzaure, ingeniously transforms an aging factory into a dynamic space. By carving out central sections on each floor, a structural nexus akin to a canyon emerges, housing a captivating museum. The project strategically situates student rooms and classrooms in an artful, non-linear arrangement, eschewing monotonous corridors. This intentional layout not only enhances views but infuses charm into the interiors. The rooftop cafeteria complements this innovative design, offering breathtaking panoramas. External enhancements, including a lama-inspired facade, weave together greenery and ventilation, symbolizing a seamless fusion of industrial heritage and sustainable, engaging architecture.
