Abstract


This project grew out of the need on COALSA's part to enlarge the offices situated up to now in the basement of a building in the port of La Coruna. The infrastructure of the new offices was made with concrete lintels, with a 50 cm edge. In the interior of the refrigerating chambers the pillars were reinforced with profiles in which mortar without refraction was injected thus forming a kind of metal capital. With this system of capital and lintel it was possible to ensure both insulation and carrying capacity. Communication with the outside is made by two lift shafts with aluminium plate and a staircase the nucleus of which has a concrete screen base. The rest of the structure is yellow coloured galvanized metal, except for the decorations which are of cardboard-plastercardboard.
