The developer has relied on Cabbsa for the structural work and, following the success of the first phase, for additional work related to the building envelope and finishes. The location and logistics of the area have forced Cabbsa to take extreme care in the precision of its operations on the site.
The result of this work will probably be one of the most important commercial buildings in Spain, due to its location, visibility and privileged surroundings, as well as its avant-garde design.

The architectural design of the new chapel is a masterpiece, accommodating 500 worshippers and also functioning as a Faith Formation Center.

It includes a subterranean level with versatile spaces for conferences, meetings, and educational events. Two construction systems were applied: a reinforced concrete apse, where great care was given to the formwork, and the main nave, which features large prefabricated timber trusses to span long distances.

In Melilla, a Spanish city on the northern coast of Africa bordering Morocco, the closure of the Central Market in 2003 left a once-thriving area in disuse. A competition launched in 2008 proposed relocating three educational institutions to the site, transforming it into a “social catalyst” to reunite and integrate the city’s multicultural communities (mainly Christians, Muslims, and Jews). The vertical expansion of new structures was achieved without overloading the old market’s foundations.

A lightweight intervention was introduced, using local materials adapted to the climate: ventilated ceramic façades and a gradient-based latticework (aluminum and ceramic joints) varying by orientation.

Located at 36 Gran Vía in Madrid, this flagship store was designed under an innovative retail concept deployed in only a few select cities across Europe.

Cabbsa was responsible for the structural reinforcement necessary to excavate a new basement and for the full fit-out of the space including mechanical and electrical systems, all while respecting the restrictions inherent to working on Gran Vía.

Málaga is a fast-growing technology hub that continues to attract an increasing number of students, highlighting the growing importance of purpose-built student accommodation.

This development comprises two six-storey buildings above ground, together with a basement level for technical facilities. The buildings share a common ground floor and are connected from the first floor onwards by a pedestrian walkway linking both blocks. The project has a total built area of 7,009 m² on a 2,700 m² site and is currently undergoing the certification process to achieve LEED Platinum status.

Caná Foundation is a non-profit organization established by a group of parents to provide meaningful leisure activities for their children with disabilities. It was founded in 2000 under the name ADIPO. Closely linked to Santa María de Caná since its inception, the organization became the Caná Foundation in April 2016, obtaining canonical recognition. In 2017, it opened its headquarters at Santa María de Caná. Today, the Foundation supports a community of more than 200 families.

CABBSA carried out this project while preserving the church’s brick façade aesthetic, meeting the stringent project requirements in terms of regarding accessibility and lighting levels,achieving the desired result and providing the Foundation with pleasant spaces to carry out such a remarkable project.
