NATIONAL AWARD 2024 IN THE MARBLE AWARDS

The project consists of the comprehensive renovation of the historic Corte Inglés building, turning it into a store for a renowned textile brand and a luxurious five-star hotel. The most notable part of the project lies in the transformation of the façade. This has been designed with large stone pieces of marble Alhama Travertine, 3.45 meters high x 1.60 meters wide and more than 1600 kilograms in weight. The pieces, anchored from slab to slab with vertical curvatures and slits, provide a timeless beauty, marking a new milestone in the city's architecture. The work, a few meters from the Plaza Mayor and in the commercial heart, positions the façade as one of the most outstanding in Valladolid.
