The civic center of Vitoria- Ibaiondo has been coated with ULMA ´s Ventilated Facade system, presenting a unique optical effect achieved with the water or miniwave texture. This is a model plate of ULMA´s VANGUARD range, which consists of a series of volumes creating a wave with a pitch of 15 mm. This texture, with panels of the same color and grooves positioned in different directions can achieve an optical effect that varies polychromatism throughout the day, providing different shades which enrich the finish of the facade.
