The fa\u00e7ade in ACCOYA\u00ae acetylated wood plays a significant role in its energy efficiency goals.<\/h2>\n

Health and architecture have always been connected<\/strong>: inefficient building design and construction with polluting raw materials are surefire routes to poor health for inhabitants. At the same time, responsible, smart design and the use of sustainable raw materials <\/strong>are decisions that result in successes such as sustainability, energy efficiency and self-supply<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is the case in today’s project, with sustainable achievements that are the healthy culmination of the work carried out inside. We are referring to the expansion of the offices of Roche Diagnostics<\/strong> in Sant Cugat del Vall\u00e8s, Barcelona. A project signed by Battleiroig Arquitectura<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A fa\u00e7ade that protects our health<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The architects of this new building confirm that their design was based on the concept of a shade house<\/em><\/strong>. In other words, a traditional structure made to provide shade.<\/p>\n

The ACCOYA\u00ae slats of each fa\u00e7ade<\/strong><\/a> are adapted to the direction of the sun, and protect the staff inside from the strong sunlight and heat, where research into diagnostic solutions for doctors and pharmaceutical laboratories takes place.<\/p>\n

Sustainability and beauty, resistance and durability<\/strong><\/h3>\n

ACCOYA\u00ae is acetylated wood<\/strong><\/a>, in other words, wood modified using a completely natural treatment<\/a>. The result is a building material<\/strong> with excellent behaviour in exteriors, where it is possible to apply treatments or leave it natural. In both cases it has a powerfully attractive aesthetic appearance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Acetylation makes ACCOYA\u00ae a wood that is exceptionally resistant and durable<\/strong>, to the point that the manufacturer provides a written 50-year guarantee <\/strong>for projects above ground level (use classes 1, 2 and 3) and 25 below ground or in fresh water (use class 4).<\/p>\n

Like other types of wood, such as oak,<\/a> ACCOYA\u00ae is a magnificent option for sustainable fa\u00e7ades<\/strong> such as that of Roche Diagnostics.<\/p>\n

From the grey of cement to the green of a garden<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The project for this extension was to reinterpret the space from a sustainable concept<\/strong>. The staff workspaces (offices and laboratories<\/strong>) have been refurbished with two buildings, and efforts were made to give the plot, almost 40,000 m2<\/sup>, a green side to its personality.<\/p>\n

For this purpose a garden was created<\/strong> where the main parking area had been previously. This green space<\/strong> takes centre stage, and acts as connecting space for the different parts of the campus.<\/p>\n
