The new building for the Service of State Employment in Seville is located north of the city within San Jeronimo district. The site has an area of 3226 m² and is bounded by streets recently executed by the current planning, and the rear of the houses in the streets behind. The new building completes the block of suburban housing in the area, and is inserted into the industrial surrounding. This tissue is made up of factory buildings from previous decades, and new warehouses currently under construction.
This part of the city is in a frantic development. The imminent opening of the north access highway Sevilla-la Rinconada, will connect the building to the rest of the city.
The program develops an administrative surface of 3,200 m² approximate. This surface is divided into three main areas for Provincial Management, Benefits and Provincial Secretary. Benefits and Provincial Secretary Area are located in ground floor and first respectively, and they form a transparent container which is the main volume of the building. The rest of the ground floor contains the rooms for the Provincial Secretary, public service spaces and Syndicates, all around a small courtyard.
The scheme of circulation and operation of the building poses easily and with clearly differentiated spaces. The setback of the stainless steel façade on the ground floor protects the access of the visitor to the building. Once inside, the entrace hall opens into a courtyard which organizes the circulation of the groundfloor around itself. The connections among different areas are generated that way.
The waiting areas are located on top of each other connected by the main staircase. The staircase opens into a double height that accompanies the inclination of the roof.
The basement contains a parking for 64 vehicles and spaces for storage and archiving.
