Located on a relatively flat one-acre parcel in Paradise Valley, Arizona, within the Phoenix metropolitan area, the site is opposite the Arizona Canal with panoramic views to the Squaw Peak Mountain reserve to the north and Camelback Mountain to the east.

Vital building – Mozas Aguirre Arquitectos

This is the headquarters for the local savings bank in Madrid by Mozas Aguirre arquitectos. The building reproduces the scale of the surrounding small woods, a park of the Natura 2000 networking programme. The structural concept is based on pairs of exterior metal supports, clad in stainless steel composite panels.The idea is to identify the building as a live organism in motion. A black skin made of glass protects the inhabited spaces behind the stainless steel pairs.
