In Barcelona, a new tower made of colored glass
A project by GCA Architects uses AGC’s Planibel Coloured glass to to realize the Torre Colonial, a 21-story building that now becomes part of the city’s skyline.
The L ‐ shaped floor plan offers diverse spatial relationships and creates an exciting space continuum around the patio together with garage and workshop. The double high kitchen forms the heart of the house and the covered terrace forms its generous continuation to the outside.
The workshop may be expanded to a small apartment in connection with the upper floor. The monolithic structure consists of 50 cm thick monolithic brick walls and ensures an optimal indoor climate without additional insulation.
