Location: Sarrià-Sant Gervasi
Floor space: 1.100 m²
This multi-family residential building with 5 appartments, occupying an area of 1.100 m² in Sant Gervasi district (Barcelona) was designed by Plasencia Arquitectura.
All of the homes in this multi-family building are equipped with an aerothermal system for DHW production and temperature control supplemented with a 200-liter tank. Heating is by means of aluminum radiators, while air conditioning is provided by ducts concealed behind the dropped ceilings and fan coil units.
The air conditioning inside the units is delivered through a network of ducts concealed in the unit’s dropped ceilings, powered by high efficiency heat pumps. The external machinery for all units is located on the communal rooftop terrace.
The main facade of the building was designed to blend in with the surrounding environment using brown Eco Klinker facing bricks, from Piera. Dark-toned lacquered aluminum carpentry, thermal breaks, laminated and low-emission glazing were used for exteriors.
