A vacant natural-gas plant in Madrid, Spain is set to be overhauled by Foster + Partners to create the plant-filled and timber-lined Acciona Ombú offices.
The abandoned industrial building, constructed in 1905 by Spanish architect Luis de Landecho, will be retrofitted with 10,000 square-metres of workspace for the sustainable infrastructure company Acciona.

Foster + Partners overhaul, set to complete in 2022, focuses largely on the restoration of the building s brick envelope – which will preserve over 10,000 tonnes of material.
Inside, it will introduce a series of staggered floors made from locally-sourced timber, which will give rise to a series of terraces.
