Cuatro Torres Business Area
I really wanted to find some high constructions in Europe, but it is not so easy as it seems. Europe is traditionally more “low”, except for Russia where the highest skyscrapers on the continent are projected and constructed. There are many skyscrapers in Frankfurt, but I decided to show you some examples of recent work in Madrid.

It is one of the examples how to build some interesting buildings that are high, elegant and sophisticated.
