GLASS FOR FAÇADE 2021

38 39 GLASS FOR FAÇADE EDITION 2021 GLASS FOR FAÇADE EDITION 2021 Set transversely an elongated base building, the Torre Caleido rises 181 metres into the sky of Madrid. The fifth tower, the so-called «Quinta Torre», completes an impressive high-rise ensemble in the north of Castellana. Serrano-Suñer Arquitectura reduced the architectural form to flat, elongated cuboids and inserted an iconographic cubus in black into the existing ensemble. The curtain wall façade represents the special technical and architectural top class of the COOL-LITE® XTREME family from SAINT-GOBAIN. The reduction to the finely balanced play with the black “colour” makes the Torre Caleido a real eye-catcher. No protrusions, curves or recesses interfere with the aesthetic effect of the glass façades. Only vertical pilaster strips were added to the main body - a stylistically minimal measure that effectively highlights the verticality of the high-rise building.
