Climate ceiling system for versatile hotel areas
At the 25hours Hotel Zurich on Europaallee, two Barcol-Air solutions contribute to indoor comfort: A11-S Radiant metal ceiling sails and the AQUILO Hybrid system with thermal building mass connection. The systems blend into the open interior architecture and perform key heating, cooling and supply air distribution functions.

Indoor Comfort for Different Uses
The 25hours Hotel is located close to Zurich’s main railway station. Its ground floor accommodates several different areas, including the reception, bar, restaurant and kiosk. This requires an indoor climate solution that can be flexibly incorporated into the open-plan design concept.
The combination of A11-S Radiant metal ceiling sails and AQUILO Hybrid systems supports a comfortable indoor climate without detracting from the distinctive interior architecture.
A11-S radiant Metal Ceiling Sail
The A11-S Radiant metal ceiling sails provide heating and cooling. Their flexible design allows them to be arranged in line with the architectural concept. At the same time, the acoustic properties of the ceiling elements contribute to the quality of the intensively used hotel and hospitality areas.
AQUILO hybrid System for integrated supply air distribution
AQUILO serves as an integrated supply air diffuser with thermal building mass connection. This allows the supply air distribution to be combined with the ceiling system and the building structure. The air supply remains visually unobtrusive and blends into the overall design concept.
Technology and Hotel design in harmony
The project images show how the technical ceiling elements blend into the colourful, open interior architecture. The A11-S radiant metal ceiling sails create a calm ceiling plane, while AQUILO adds supply air distribution within the system.
The result is a combined solution for heating, cooling and ventilation that accommodates both the different uses on the ground floor and the architectural requirements.
Frequently asked questions
What functions do the A11-S radiant metal ceiling sails perform?
The A11-S radiant metal ceiling sails provide heating and cooling. Their flexible design and acoustic properties support their integration into architecturally sophisticated spaces with different uses.
What is the function of the AQUILO hybrid system?
AQUILO is an integrated supply air diffuser with thermal building mass connection. It adds supply air distribution to the Radiant metal ceiling sails, increases the water-side capacity, uses the building mass for thermal energy storage and integrates unobtrusively into the ceiling concept.
