The HTBA Office and Service Complex marks a milestone in the evolution of the industrial plant located in the fertile lands of Beniel. It organically reflects the identity and values of a company with over 40 years of experience in the field of citrus flavonoids and active forms of vitamin B12.
The architectural proposal is centered around functional efficiency, with a layout that optimizes production flows conceived as an assembly line—carefully organizing the movement of people and materials. This spatial logic not only improves overall operations but also establishes a fluid relationship between the different parts of the complex, ensuring that each area serves a purpose aligned with circulation and workflow.
The intervention, functioning as an architectural interface, unfolds across two buildings positioned on either side of the access control point. Together, they form a constructed frontage that, beyond fulfilling practical needs, strengthens the company's corporate identity.
At the main entrance—located along the road connecting Beniel and La Zeneta—a large red canopy, HTBA’s signature color, structures internal circulation. This feature becomes a striking visual landmark that serves as both reference point and orientation tool for users.
The buildings, enclosed in ventilated façades clad in white ceramic, bring coherence and energy efficiency to the complex.
A continuous red metal cornice crowns the volumes, reinforcing HTBA's brand image and lending the architecture a clean, unified presence that integrates seamlessly into its industrial context.
To the north of the access control point, the new pavilion houses changing rooms and general services, essential elements for the facility’s operation. Serving as both the beginning and end of the employees’ daily routines, the design enhances internal circulation while also offering a functional, user-oriented environment. With a focus on ergonomics and comfort, it ensures wellbeing and supports the organization of complementary workspaces.
To the south, the office pavilion—an expansion and reinterpretation of the former service building—functions as the administrative core of the complex.
While retaining the original structural elements, the intervention introduces new construction systems and modern infrastructure to bring the space back into use, meeting current programmatic requirements.
Its entrance, marked by an orange tree—HTBA's emblem due to its deep connection with citrus flavonoids—leads visitors into a spacious double-height lobby. This area creates a visual and functional link between the two office levels, generating a bright and collaborative atmosphere.
The workspaces are conceived to encourage interaction and teamwork, with an open and flexible layout. Sustainable and efficient materials enhance acoustic and visual comfort, resulting in a pleasant, high-performing environment.
