Woermann Tower

The Woermann Tower in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a mixed-use high-rise completed in 2005 and designed by Abalos & Herreros. The ground floor holds an entrance area with shops, and a library occupies the second floor, while apartments fill the upper levels. The architecture stands out for its expansive glass facade, which offers sweeping views of the Atlantic. Horizontal sun-shading louvers engraved with plant motifs protect the facade, and yellow accents in strategic spots add visual interest. The tower is part of a complex that also includes a public plaza paved with Portuguese stone and an office and retail building to the south.
