Modern architecture in Madrid has a new highlight: the Edificio Celes Office Building is an impressive example of how existing buildings can be renovated in a contemporary way. An intelligent façade system from Haver & Boecker not only gives the building a fresh, aesthetic appearance, but also effective solar shading.
Innovative design in the Spanish capital
The renovated Edificio Celes Office Building is located in the heart of Madrid, Spain's vibrant capital. The project, designed by Touza Arquitectos, was completed in 2020. The challenge here was to give the old building a modern look while at the same time making functional improvements. This is where the DOGLA-TRIO 1033 architectural mesh from Haver & Boecker came into play, which was used over 600 square metres in three different areas and is mainly used for solar shading.
Versatile application options for the mesh
The project required the delivery of ready-to-install elements for façades, balustrades and pergolas. These different applications presented particular challenges, as the same mesh specification had to be used for all of them. Therefore the used HAVER Architectural Mesh DOGLA-TRIO 1033, which, with an open area of around 67% and a weight of 6.5 kg/m², is not only visually appealing but also functional. Nine large pergola elements measuring 4 m x 2.4 m made a decisive contribution to the modern and elegant aesthetics as well as the effectiveness of the sun protection.
Architectural mesh as a sustainable solution
The DOGLA-TRIO 1033 is characterised by its semi-transparent structure, which is suitable for use as façade cladding, balustrades or interior cladding. Stainless steel architectural wire mesh combines unique aesthetics with reliable safety and robust durability. They are maintenance-free, corrosion-resistant and fully recyclable after use. These properties make stainless steel wire mesh an ideal solution for modern construction projects such as the Edificio Celes Office Building. Thanks to its three different applications, the building is a prime example of the versatility and sustainable value added by our Architectural Mesh.
