The project dates back to 2007, when Caixa Catalunya commissioned architect Rafael Moneo to build a tower in Plaza de Europa. Its execution was postponed, due to the circumstances of the real estate market, so the project approached the Puig company to establish its corporate headquarters there, and construction work began in 2012, in collaboration with the Barcelona architects GCA Arquitectos Asociados.

The tower respects the ground plan and the height established in the planning and its interest lies in the glassy spiral that envelops the volume. This eliminates any temptation to understand the tower as a superimposition of horizontal planes, reinforcing its unitary character. The glass band provides the interior spaces with an attractive filter that also helps to improve the insulation conditions of the building.
