Torre Bizkaia in Bilbao

 - Jakob Schoof

The Torre Bizkaia literally towers above the city centre of Bilbao since 1969. Following its renovation, the highrise building formerly owned by a bank seems as if it had been cleaned with a power washer: The planners of Idom meticulously restored the original visual impression of the facades and upgraded them to meet current energy standards.
