| Description |
|
The Isozaki Towers are the tallest
residential buildings in Bilbao. They
stand 83 metres high comprising 23
floors. "The first two floors
are used for mixed-commercial purposes,
and the remaining floors are
residential. The towers are part of a
five-building complex. The other three
buildings' heights range between six and
eight floors." (Wikipedia)  "Atea" means "gate" in Basque; the complex is intended as the entrance to the Ensanche of the city from the other side of the Nervión river as a footway directly connects the staircase between the two towers to the Zubizuri footbridge. The staircase leads to Ercilla Street."  |
