Yes, but I don't like the colour.... :(

- The construction finished in 2007

So, does this mean it's already complete?

Nice tower!! It is very nice for a 85.000 population city.

I personally don't like this tower at all.

I like it a lot... It´s very diferent and original.

nice building for that village!!

It is amazing the development of Ponferrada!! Great tower for a great town! The outskirts are really nice by the way. Someone has more pictures? What are they going to do with the tower? Apartments? Are they expensive?

... really nice! West facade is being coated with an interesting wooden-like material that gives the building a unique organic look.

Another interesting fact is that shutters are made of the same material used for the facade overlap, so when closed, the "on-ground" viewer won´t be able to distinguish between facade and closed, shuttered windows. This means a completely different view of the tower on every sight. Cool! ;)

As you can see, the surroundings are quite suited for such a building. A wide green-grassed park waiting for some other singular projects coming soon.

I´m about taking a walk under its long shadow. Some pics will be posted. I promise :)

New pics by myself: -sorry in spanish...-

Well, most people tend to think that the whole of Spain is covered with mediterranean-type architecture, because that is the type of architecture they see when they go on holidays to the "costas". You have to consider that Spain has different types of climates depending on the area, and Ponferrada is in the north of the country and close to high mountains, so obviously its typical architecture will have more points in common with France than let's say Malaga or the portuguese Algarve...

@westisbest: don´t worry, you are not offending us, but i have to notice you that maybe the French towns look kind Ponferrada instead of Ponfe look kind French towns. In our region we extract the 70% of the natural slate of the world. We sell it in UK, France, Germany...

Do you know for example http://www.cupagroup.com ?

In any case, my last photo is in a neighbourhood which was built by german and english engineers -many from Liverpool ;)- who came out in the early 60´s to El Bierzo to build the biggest coal power plant in Spain.

Gracias amigo.

Seems it's already topped out isn't it? beautiful development indeed, well done Ponfe :)

Im not sure at all, probably yes or probably not, because the top floor dont cover the whole surface, so its difficult to say. Anyway, if isnt topped out yet, will be in one week surely :)

Fortunately, cladding has started !

Atención, las contras sí se mantienen y son del mismo material del recubrimiento:

¡Que torre de diseño tan original! Y está muy alta, casi 30 niveles, para una ciudad mediana de 85000 habitantes, que por lo que he visto no es muy común que tengan desarrollo de edificaciones tan altas.

Y además se ve que hay mucha construcción en los alrededores, ese sector de la ciudad se ve muy bien, y pronto se verá mejor.

Nice building, a beautiful one! It's almost finished.

:banana:

The lowest building is the hotel, isn't it? I don't know it had a swimming pool on the roof, even trees!

Yes, the low rise is the hotel. But we arent sure atm if they are gonna build the pool and plant the garden.. some forumers said that they dont know. Lets pray, 'cause it will look so much better with it :)

I like that woody cladding! Lets wait 'till the glassy facade start to figure out a real idea of the final result of the project :)

Almost topped out :) Like the design..

It makes really fast progress! :cheers:

The newest pics:

... weno, pues aquí tenemos la torre a día de hoy.

http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/7527/torre2yc6.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

... forzando el zoom a tope y sin estabilizador, complicado sacar una foto decente. Pero vamos, lo importante es que se ve la railera por la que se deslizará la contraventana tras una de las placas de los lados. A la derecha algunas, a la izquierda otras. Por mi parte, soy feliz...:banana:

http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/5497/contraspo0.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

... ahora más.

... ya están forjando la segunda planta del cubilete de la azotea. Ahora habrá que ver si hay muro cortina o qué...

http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/1530/azoteafr0.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

... y aquí el pequeño voladizo de la parte trasera. Corresponde, según los planos, a dos únicas viviendas dúplex. Es un espacio diáfano de suelo a techo. Madre, madre, madre...

http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/153/voladizotrasgc4.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

desde luego, cómo da este edificio en cámara. A mí me parece cada vez más plástico. Y es fotogénico lo saques desde donde lo saques. Excepto tal vez de frente... :)

Quoteo del Chelsea:

... Wifi y yo acabamos de llegar de un pequeño tour por la Rosaleda y alrededores. Algunos detalles interesantes...

...así de impresionante luce la cara norte de la torre desde la base:

http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/9787/ladonortett7.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

... y he aquí uno de los enigmas: el mirador de la azotea. Wifi y yo llegamos a la conclusión de que esa azotea ya fue concebida desde un principio como mirador. Lo que hay construído hasta ahora hace soñar con una azotea amplísima a la que se accede por unas escaleras desde el piso inferior y una barandilla frontal que podría formar parte del mismo muro cortina. De ser así, sería impresionante.

http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/9093/azotzc8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

... ahora bien, y los dos pisos de cubilete? Cafetería - restaurante? Aaaah... quién sabe!?!?


... en esta podéis observar las contras medio cerradas. Me gusta, me gustaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! :banana:

... y esta es la estampa que ofrece desde el Bosque del Centenario. Dentro de algunos años, podremos observarla a la sombra de una de las 100 encinas que se plantaron hace unos días. El "parque" lo agradecerá...

http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/4227/parkel6.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Damn!

Are you sure it has 28 floors?

It looks taller than that!!

Se ve mas alta!! :rock:

I think it's impressive that kind of original architecture in the middle of "nowhere" (that's what it seems in the pics) i don't know why but it makes me remember the Montevideo building in Rotterdam

<muy wapa, si señor.

Lamentable, pareciéndome muchísimo a una mancha en el paisaje. Esperaré hasta no terminado aunque antes de la decisión.

Sorry, looking very much like a blot on the landscape to me. I will wait until finished though before deciding.

Detalle del cubilete desde el frontal, se aprecia la altura de la segunda planta de éste, y se intuye el cubilete del cubilete:

http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/9581/img3266de8.jpg


Cada vez tenemos más superficie de fachada recubierta, en esta foto se aprecia las diferentes tonalidades que adquiere la torre en función del reflejo solar, pasando de practicamente negro en las zonas sombrías, al marrón oscuro y aclarandose hasta llegar a verse casi blanco:

http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/6982/img3271sb0.jpg


Y para mí, el angulo más interesante de todo el conjunto, donde se aprecian casi todos los voladizos y los distintos volúmenes:

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/5685/img3274xn4.jpg


En la parte del lateral exterior del hotel y en su parte posterior el edificio gana una planta más, es decir: el primer sotano queda descubierto en estas zonas, como se aprecia en esta foto:

http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/6600/img3268ss8.jpg


Lo mismo ocurre con el lateral exterior de la torre y su parte posterior, tambien el primer sótano queda al ras.
En esta otra foto se intuye la gran cantidad de luz que entra en el recibidor del hotel a través del gran lucernario (en la foto no se aprecia tan bien como al natural :))

http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/9192/img3273ga1.jpg


El lucernario del que hablo, que va a permitir al hotel tener un gran atrio central:

http://www.torredelarosaleda.com/estado_actual/images/13748-5.jpg


En la plaza central que une al hotel con la torre están colocando una cristalera de acceso peatonal al primer sotano:

http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/2866/img3269zm1.jpg


La plaza en su parte frontal va a estar al nivel de la calle, pero en su parte posterior va a estar un piso por encima ¿Harán un pequeño mirador hacia el parque?.
En este render se aprecia la parte de atras, con la diferencia de nivel entre la plaza y el parque:

http://www.torredelarosaleda.com/Images/rosaleda03.jpg

Vaya diferencia de color entre el render y la realidad.

Un saludo

ugly

Why is ugly?. Someone extract of the typical box of crystal and..... It is an original and different building, which tries to represent a tree (an "Encina") that has a special meaning in the zone. And certainly that for a small city is a whole achievement. It is the building more highly of the whole community of "Castilla y León". And one of the more high of Spanish northwest.

@Sukino: you can give your own oppinion, obviously you are free to, but maybe you should base it on a criteria, cuz it's so weak a comment who said "ugly" and not why.

I think that the tower is quite good according to the money they invest on, the population of the city, and the height, that is a remarkable one into a country that anciently dont use to build highrises.
Lets see until they put the first glass on the facade, cuz this will give us the definitely oppinion.

Its the same glass on the top that the one who is covering the back-undergrounds? :?

i think so

impressive! a city that size gets a skyline and an awesome scraper! :) beautiul!

Han escogido un tono oscuro que queda francamente bien:

Y detalle de una contra cerrada:

http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/1857/img3280he7.jpg


Lo mejor de la torre es que nunca la ves igual, cambia mucho el tono de la fachada según la luz disponible, y sobre todo por las contraventanas: abiertas, cerradas, entreabiertas...

The following photos shown a pretty beautiful fire effect on the tower. I unknown if this effect was something made deliberately or it is by chance, but I think is amazing.

The photos was taken between 5 and 6 p.m., and the effect lasted for a few minutes.

I have decided to mantain its original size so you can better observe the fire effect.

The first one has not fire effect, and the following ones seem to be the building from the film "The Towering Inferno".

The tower is now topped out, almost complete. They're ending the last features.
If some mod could change the topic, would be perfect.

Yes, but I don't like the colour.... :(


me neither. tho it does have a GREAT design, very interesting by the way.

i'm jealous!!! my city has 1, 400, 000 hab and the 'highest' rise doesn't pass the 55m.

A walk around the tower...

This tower is in Spain but really reminds me of Rotterdam skyline it would fit perfectly there. Seem to be so alone, it need some friends.The city is small so im suprised they even built it.

One of the most beautiful "lower skyscrapers" in Europe.
