Health Department HQ, Bilbao, Spain (Video)
El Departamento de Sanidad y Osakidetza, the new unified headquarters of the Basque Health Department created by Coll-Barreu Arquitectos
are located in the Ensanche, New Town, at the junction of 2 important arteries: Licenciado Poza and Alameda Rekalde.
The striking facade, reminiscent of a cubist exercise, is a shell of glass placed at irregular angles. The resultant folds generate multiple reflections visible from the inside changing its appearance depending on the point of view, the hour and the season. The facade is also a double skin that responds to energy saving requirements, allowing the abolition of traditional air-conditioning systems and false ceilings, insulating heat, reducing noise and letting in precious natural light.
