Facsa Headquarters

Facsa, a company specialized in integrated water cycle management, has inaugurated its new
corporate headquarters in Castellón. This complex was designed by Ramón Pascual’s architecture studio and built by Gimecons, focusing on functionality, sustainability, and cutting-e dge design.

The interior architecture design was developed by Summumstudio, creating a space conceived
to inspire the team while reflecting the company’s values.
With a built area of 8,600 m2 on a 17,000 m2 plot, the headquarters integrates offices, workshops, warehouses, and 2,500 m2 of green areas. The interior layout includes a spacious welcome hall on the ground floor, technical offices on the first floor, and executive areas on the second floor.

Summumstudio’s Intervention
The commission involved participating in the project’s technical team to resolve the building’s
interior architecture. After analyzing the project, it became clear that the true challenge was to
catalyze FACSA’s brand image, creating an integrated concept that would merge architecture
and branding to deliver a strong, coherent corporate identity.
This identity needed to contextualize the company’s differentiating values through specific
materials and details, generating an architectural language capable of transcending the purely
constructive. The proposal was defined with a minimalist approach, free of eccentricities, ensuring sobriety and timelessness while using water as a connecting element.

The true scope of the project was defined, establishing its starting point: the Hall. This space was conceived with a specific function: to blur the boundary between “exterior and interior,” becoming a unifying nexus that integrates with the façade while establishing an architectural code that would serve as the basis for resolving the building’s remaining spaces.

The Hall symbolizes the integrated water cycle through a large metallic sculpture functioning as a staircase. This structure is enveloped by a curtain of water cascading into a pond, creating an
architectural landscape with strong symbolic value. Its design provides the complex with verticality, establishing an organizing axis that structures the rest of the project’s spaces under a rigorous order.

The interior design is articulated around this large central core, which vertically connects the
spaces via the sculptural staircase. Resting on an expansive sheet of water, the staircase is framed within a triple-height courtyard, visually and functionally linking the three floors. The concept follows a minimalist and rational architectural language aligned with the image Facsa aims to project: simplicity, sobriety, timelessness, and coherence.

Summumstudio focused its proposal on resolving key areas distributed across the three floors,
forming the core of the facility. These areas include:
• Main Hall and reception on the ground floor
• Reception and distribution on the second and third floors
• Presidency and executive offices
• Boardroom
