Headquarters of the Diputación de Málaga
New headquarters for the Diputación Provincial de Málaga.
The project for the headquarters of the Diputación de Málaga covers a total built area of 46,550.12 square metres, in which two buildings designed by the architect Luis Machuca are being constructed The complex is home to the Edgar Neville Auditorium, a multidisciplinary performance space with a capacity for 300 people.
The work was carried out around the old Civic Centre, formerly the Casa de la Misericordia, so that the distribution of the parts of the old centre marked the morphology of the new Diputación de Málaga, with a structure that tends towards horizontality and, therefore, reduces the height of the building.
The new Diputación de Málaga headquarters facilities are divided into “political” and “administrative” buildings. The first building is structured for the institutional offices, including spaces for the presidency, the political groups, the secretariat and, as the main element. This plenary hall functions as a small parliament. The infrastructure has three storeys and a basement for parking, linked by a central plaza. Along Almonte Street, the second building houses the services, technical and administrative areas.
Both buildings follow the directions of the old building and, therefore, deviate slightly from the alignments of the streets that make up the block. They are connected in the semi-basement by a ramp connecting the rooms on different levels.
On the ground floor, across from the administration building, are the facilities and services, and above them, the customer service areas in large glazed halls.
Constructing the new headquarters of the Diputación de Málaga is a project that stands out for its innovative design and exemplary execution in such an emblematic location as it is in front of Málaga’s seafront promenade.
The project’s innovative design sought to represent the organisation’s transparency and contact with the environment, reflected in the large glazed surfaces in the facilities and the volumetry of the facilities, with gardens that are introduced through the open-plan ground floor and surroundings. To this end, Sando built several layers on the façades to meet the objectives of thermal regulation and sunlight levels, with the installation of elements such as stainless steel mesh to screen the views and the entry of light or panels of braided wooden rods to provide greater privacy to the glazed areas.
As a company specialising in sustainable building, Sando applied environmental sustainability measures to the structure, such as a trigeneration plant to supply the building with hot water, cooling and electricity from natural gas transformation. It also incorporated domotic solutions to reduce the consumption of artificial lighting, such as constructing double-height spaces oriented to make the most of the light projected from the skylight on the roof.
