The promoter stated
it clearly: “I want a singular and bioclimatic building”
And to him, at the
beginning, that meant a building with a relatively conventional appearance
which would incorporate bioclimatic systems such as solar panels.
As we were being
asked to design an energetically optimized building, we decided to figuratively
use architectonic elements providing bioclimatic efficiency with the aim of
achieving the singular image requested by the client.
Structural system is improved using Holedeck, a patented system of voided slabs for
buildings with big spans between supports and a high level of services.
Hence, the intake of
pipes buried under the building, the solar protection elements and the concrete
waffle slab pierced to conduct the services became them all objects for the
aesthetic expression.
Like this the
promoter undertook an adventure to do what we both like the most: innovate
