World Architecture Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the main challenges of modern architecture is to design and build functional buildings that are, at the same time, efficient and sustainable with regards to the environment. Following these principles, COMSA undertakes emblematic building projects, both nationwide and internationally. The company collaborates with renowned architects, which contributes to increasing the value of its works and, at the same time, its prestige in the architecture sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activity of COMSA is characterised by a high sensitivity towards the cityscape and the environment. In this regard, the company has constructed buildings following the most demanding standards when it comes to sustainability. Proof of this is Torre Puig in l\u2019Hospitalet de Llobregat with LEED Gold certification or the OAMI (the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market<\/a>) building of the EU in Alicante with BREEAM certification, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, COMSA maintains steady commitment to the new work methodology known as LEAN Construction, which issues maximum collaboration between the customer-architect-constructor to optimise its execution. Similarly, all its projects are characterised by innovative design, high employment of technological components and they include solutions developed by the innovation projects in which it participates, such as the use of recycled materials, the energy optimisation of the buildings and waste recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, COMSA has inaugurated the Cultural Centre of Lugano<\/a> (Switzerland), one of the most significant amenities built in the country in recent years. Dedicated to performing arts, it was built following the principles of sustainability and energy efficiency, since all its spaces are heated and cooled using the energy from the waters of the outside lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the W Hotel is one of the most distinctive buildings in Barcelona. Built by COMSA, it is located in the Nova Bocana area of the harbour of the Catalan capital on an area of 7 hectares. Its structure comprises 26 height levels. The fa\u00e7ade, in the shape of a sail, is made of glass and it reflects the sky and Mediterranean Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
