Calle Serrano, 55

SERRANO 55 is an exclusive office building located on the Barrio Salamanca-CBD axis, in the middle of the Golden Mile in Madrid. This is an unparalleled location, the financial hub and main artery of Madrid, where the most prestigious national and international companies seek their headquarters in the capital. It is a building built between party walls on Serrano Street that was designed by the architect Gabriel Allende. Its design sought to provide offices with a permeable façade that would allow natural lighting for workstations. In order to ensure this purpose, two patios were incorporated, one outdoor and the other covered, the second of which takes on great importance due to the presence of the glazed boxes in the meeting rooms, which overlook the void and serve as an extension of the work environment. On the other hand, the interiors of SERRANO 55 want to value materials, and their qualities depend on the uses. In this way, the majority use of melamine beech panels gives spaces a warm and unitary character, once again collaborating in one of the main objectives of the project: the natural transmission of light. The building has 5,965 m2 of surface distributed over 9 floors above ground (ground floor + mezzanine + 7). This space is divided into a total of 4,850 m2 of offices and a space of more than 1,000 m2 that is located on the street level. Its offer is complemented by 4 floors below ground for parking with a large number of spaces (101). On the parking floors we can find charging points for electric vehicles. Upon entering SERRANO 55, the visitor finds a spectacular lobby where the building's reception is located, which has a large window that provides plenty of natural light. This spacious and bright space gives access to three state-of-the-art high-capacity elevators and to a forklift intended exclusively for receiving goods. The interior layout tries to free up maximum central space, and so communications and toilets are concentrated on the south side, and the rooms and offices on the rest of the perimeter. The office floors have a ceiling height of approximately 3.5 meters, a false ceiling and adjustable technical floor. All floors are equipped with fire detectors, a small office for workers to rest and two toilet units with materials from the Schell brand, one of the reference brands currently in this type of product. With regard to energy efficiency, the property of SERRANO 55 has obtained through various actions the transition from LEED Gold certification to LEED Platinum and WELL Gold certification. These certifications are systems created for the evaluation of sustainable buildings through a list of credits associated with measures to reduce environmental impacts and improve sustainability. These actions have focused on energy management and maintenance through the optimization of air conditioning and lighting systems, ambient light quality, LED/low consumption lighting and indoor air quality. To obtain the certificate, the management and cleaning of the building, the efficient use of water, acoustic comfort and waste management have been analyzed. An accurate measurement has also been made of energy consumption and the carbon footprint generated by all activities, including the daily transport of users. As for the environment, the building is located in the Salamanca district, whose hallmarks are elegance and luxury. We can find the boutiques of the most prestigious national and international designers and brands, on the well-known Golden Mile in Madrid.
