Former British Embassy in Madrid

The concrete edifice features geometric shapes with raw finishes across its facade, exemplifying the principles of brutalist architectural design from the 1960s.

Architects W. S. Bryant and Luis Blanco Soler completed this structure in 1966, which operated as the British Embassy until its relocation to Torre Espacio in 2009.

The building reflects the architectural transformation of Madrid during the mid-twentieth century, when modernist structures began appearing among classical buildings.

Located at the intersection of Almagro and Chamberí neighborhoods, the former embassy building sold for 50 million euros after serving diplomatic functions for four decades.

The structure's concrete elements and functional design make it stand apart from surrounding buildings in an area dominated by traditional Spanish architecture.
