Novedades de Ventilated Facade
Optical Effect
ULMA presents an Innovating Ventilated Façade design, developed by architects Joaquín Caro Gómez, Alberto Miño Pérez, José Sánchez-Pamplona García and Jose Juan Sánchez Pedraza. In Cordoba south of Spain, in a residential zone about 10 minutes from the AVE station a covering of the façade of the “Atlantico” Building was carried out with the ULMA ventilated façade system. The singularity of this work was achieved thanks to the panels’ texture. The “miniwave” model was used, which design consists of two volumes in the panel, simulating some waves of 1mm of thickness. Four different models of panels have been combined, with the disposition of the waves in different positions: vertical, horizontal, right diagonal and left diagonal. With a placement of a studied form a singular optic effect has been achieved, even when the same tonality was used in all the plates, a visual movement effect was achieved; the building changes due to the light reflecting on it, so depending on the hour of the day, as well as the season of the year in which we are, the façade varies. The different plate formats go from 130-180cm in length, and 62-65cm of width of the plate. “What most surprises is that using the same tone in all the plates, the texture is the one changing the color shades making it look like several tones of the same range were used.” TECHNICAL FILE OF THE PROJECT WORK: “Atlantico” Building – 39 housings, commercial places and parking.
