Architectural Design

The architectural design of Edificaciones Corbán is both contemporary and visually striking. The preference for dark colors, particularly black, is skillfully balanced with whites to create an engaging visual contrast. To avoid monotony within a closed project, textures and black-and-white patterns are thoughtfully applied, adding depth and character. Wood elements provide visual respite and a sense of calm amid the architectural design. Masonry and clay bricks form the structure, combining durability with elegance.
