Fontes Palace is an 18th-century construction, part of the Historical-Artistic Ensemble of the historic center of the city of Murcia. Since 1926, it has served as the steemed headquarters of the Segura Hydrographic Confederation.

In iddition to its principal volume, the building originally featured a series of annex constructions at its rear characterized by poor architectural quality and a lack of clarity in settlement and volumetric definition. Aligned with the program requirements, the proposed solution centered on the replacement of these annex constructions with a singular building specifically designed to accommodate office spaces. This new addition seamlessly integrates with the main body of Fontes Palace through a central core. Notably, this central structure strategically steps back as it ascends in height, not only facilitating ample interior lighting but also unveiling a courtyard embraced by the two flanking wings.

A comprehensive restoration and revitalization initiative was introduced for the main body of the edifice and the facade facing Fontes Square. The internal structure of the building was meticulously preserved, adapted to the updated layout, with refreshed partitions, stuccos, and flooring. Externally, the decision to retain the entire main span allowed for the meticulous restoration of the facade facing Fontes Square, extending its impact to the adjacent street and the inner courtyard.

This transformative approach resulted in a harmonious U-shaped configuration, seamlessly uniting the historic and modern wings while seamlessly blending into the urban fabric. The newly designed office spaces gracefully open up to the street through precisely positioned apertures, ensuring that the architectural façade takes center stage in the external visual narrative.
