PERFORATED PANELS

Perforations, whether holes or patterns, add a unique transparency to buildings. The play of light and shadow creates a controlled penetration of light and air, for improved building ventilation. Perforated zinc, thanks to its high durability and low maintenance requirements, is a durable, environmentally friendly material for buildings with an exceptional lifespan. It benefits from a favorable overall energy balance, including 100% recyclability. It acts elegantly with variable-geometry transparencies depending on the degree of shading required. More

Single family house in Valdemarín

Being used to the spatial restrictions typical for a city with high density like Madrid, a 1.800m2 (19.370 sqft) plot almost makes you feel lost when you first enter it. We found it extremely important to create a home that integrates the outdoor space and makes it liveable. The climate is very dry and hot in summer, on the other hand you can use terraces all over the year if they are a little protected against sun, wind and rain.Wedecided to use the building to embrace and define the garden areasand create shady places for summer as well as protected areas for the rest of the year.Also, we were impressed by the viewswhich become more breathtaking the higher you go up.It seemed to be clear that, whatever would be built on that spot should s...
