The headquarters of the Cerezales Antonino y Cinia Foundation is a unique building designed by the architecture studio Alejandro Zaera Polo & Maider Llaguno (AZPML), which opened its doors in 2017.

It is a free-standing construction, made of wood -structure and enclosure-, with a fan-shaped floor plan, which is part of a research work on universally recognisable architectural archetypes, in this case those that shape architecture in rural areas, and follows geometric and constructive criteria of traditional local -and global- architecture, such as the gabled roof, the wooden framework seen on the façade, wood as cladding, etc. At the same time, it allows the different uses associated with FCAYC to be distributed in 5 adjoining buildings with a longitudinal north-south development, and vertically in the two existing floors in three of the buildings.

It has been conceived from an integral sustainability perspective, in order to minimise its environmental impact throughout the building's life cycle. Its environmental strategy is based on the reduction and balance of the building's energy consumption during the construction and use phases, and on the use of three renewable energy sources: geothermal energy, biomass and phase change materials to reduce CO2 emissions in relation to the use of fossil fuels. This led to it being recognised with the 1st Castilla y León Sustainable Construction Prize, awarded by the Castilla y León Construction Institute.

Located in Cerezales del Condado, just 30 km from the city of León, it is a unique enclave, with spaces suitable for a wide range of uses, including an auditorium, rehearsal rooms and workrooms.
