A granite skin hiding a light interior enclosure (028)
The AC Hotel was one of the first buildings in Barcelona in which a ventilated façade system was used with a light inner layer made of cement boards over metal folded sheet profiles.
Since then, these systems have evolved to provide a clearer solution regarding the continuity of the thermal insulation and air tightness. This is achieved by improving the solution in the slab edge and with the adequate treatment of joints.
