The display of the programme for this police station in Seville in a star shaped plan, as a panoptic, has determined the image of the building.

As high-rise dwelling buildings surround the building, it’s representative image towards the city is intended by means of a horizontal and extended volume that does note seem to touch the ground.

A continuous suspended wall made of white concrete wraps the perimeter of the building. In this way, the glass is sheltered from the harsh sunlight with different depths for the different orientations.

The programme is organized in the four peaks of the star with the public areas right next to the entrance, all of them provided with natural light. The underground level hosts the internal areas for cells.

An artificial green slope borders the volume, and a transparent glass fence closes the Police Station towards the city.
