About Torres Blancas
Torres Blancas is a concrete tower that rises up 71 metres into the Madrid skyline. Completed in 1969, it is one of the most complicated and innovative concrete structures of its time, breaking with the typical conventions of residential architecture. The architect's goal was to build a unique residential building, of a great height, which would grow organically like a tree. The result was a structure that was covered vertically by staircases, lifts, and installations, like the vessels of a tree, surrounded by curved balconies grouped in the manner of leaves on branches.
