Torres Blancas
Location: Madrid, Spain
Architect: Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza
Completed: 1969
Status: In use
Brief Overview:
Torres Blancas is a 71-meter-tall residential and office tower in Madrid, Spain, designed by architect Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza. Construction began in 1964 and was completed in 1969. Despite its name, meaning "White Towers," the structure is made of raw concrete, aligning with the Brutalist architectural style. The building consists of 23 floors, including a rooftop swimming pool, and is supported by a central core with cylindrical modules branching outward.
Sáenz de Oiza envisioned an organic high-rise inspired by tree growth, integrating curved balconies, interconnected terraces, and interior gardens. The structure prioritizes both aesthetics and function, providing natural ventilation and communal spaces. Torres Blancas remains a key example of Spanish modernist architecture.
For those interested in Brutalist design, architectural models, or modernist inspiration, Torres Blancas exemplifies the fusion of concrete innovation and urban living.

Our concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete. This means that each piece will have distinctive markings and minor blemishes due to air bubbles in the concrete. This is a natural part of the material and will mean that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
