Building for offices of the Port Works and Services Board

Building for offices of the Port Works and Services Board - Architects: José María Morales Lupiáñez, Luís Gómez Estern, Roberto de Juan Valiente 1960 - 1966

Current name: Port Authority Buildings

The building is located on the west side of the city, in the northern corner of the dock gardens, orienting its access to Real Colombina Onubense Avenue. It is located in the long garden strip that separates the dock from the city, very close to the Port Authority pavilions that give entrance to the dock, maintaining a close functional relationship with them.

The program was organized in three blocks that move from one another to adapt to the dimensions of the plot: the two-story office building with a basement that housed the administrative offices, the two-story director's engineer's home, and the concierge's home. a single plant.

The uniqueness of this building lies in the plastic composition of its exteriors. A white stone cladding surrounds the whole, adapting its layout to the size and arrangement of the generous openings that double the corners. No less interesting seems the careful study of the carpentry that responds to a varied arrangement of openings on the main façade and an arrangement of large continuous openings on the façade that opens to the park, reaffirming, with its proportions, the character horizontal of the building.
