The Isozaki Atea (Basque: Isozaki Gate) twin towers in Bilbao, Spain are the tallest residential buildings in the city and the Basque Country. The towers are 83 metres (272 ft) tall and have 22 floors. The first two floors are used for mixed-commercial purposes, and the remaining floors are residential. The towers are part of a five-building complex. The other three buildings' heights range between six and eight floors.
"Atea" means "gate" in Basque, and the complex is intended as the entrance to the Ensanche of the city, located right at the beginning of the Ercilla Street. Arata Isozaki was the architect.
