The architects were entrusted with renovating and breathing new life into the old Fabra & Coats industrial complex.
In this case, the vertical positioning of the pieces Flexbrick® creates contrast with the traditional horizontal placement, providing visual lightness.
The essence of the system is bringing together small pieces that comprise a large-scale assemblage, that being lined up vertically gives the visual effect of long strips. The result: a bright modern glass facade, protected from sunlight with a high-tech element that is nevertheless completely integrated with the brick facades of the pre-existing building.
