The new Scalpers headquarters, located near Seville’s Expo ’92 site, is conceived as a building deeply rooted in its context and in the Andalusian architectural tradition, reinterpreted through a contemporary perspective.
The project is organised around courtyards and outdoor spaces that structure the programme, bringing natural light and ventilation into the everyday life of the building. This strategy creates bright, ever-changing interiors that respond to the local climate and the scale of their surroundings.

The ceramic envelope defines the building’s identity, acting as a second skin that filters light, provides solar protection and creates an atmosphere rich in shadows and subtle nuances. Inspired by the pottery tradition of Triana, ceramics take on both a climatic and expressive role.
The interior material palette is defined by a restrained combination of concrete, wood, limewash and stainless steel. Light becomes the primary architectural element, lending the building a serene and timeless atmosphere
