Located in Medellín, Colombia, Cortezza Las Palmas blends urban convenience with natural serenity. Designed by Sergio Gallon Villegas and built by Terranum, this LEED GOLD-certified project features 6,800 m² of modern office and retail space, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and comfort. The building’s façade is fitted with COOL-LITE® KNT 140 glass, chosen for its solar control function and neutral aesthetics, while the processing of the glass was done using PLANILUX® glass. This highperformance glass, tempered and assembled into insulated glazing units, reduces solar heat gain in Medellin’s tropical climate, optimizing indoor comfort while minimizing cooling demands. Its high level of light transmission ensures bright, naturally lit spaces, reducing the need for artificial lighting and creating a welcoming environment. Combining energy efficiency, visual comfort and aesthetics, COOL-LITE® KNT 140 reflects Cortezza Las Palmas’ commitment to sustainable design, setting a new benchmark for sustainable architecture in the region.
