Telefonica, as the larger Spanish company, creates the strategic challenge of regroup its fourteen thousand employees in one and unique headquarters in Madrid.

This makes its conceptual flexibility and its homogeneous architecture a high financial value; nevertheless, with a strong architectural definition.
