Hotel Palace Façade
Light study of an emblematic Barcelona hotel’s façade.

The façade of one of the most emblematic Barcelona hotels was lightened to make it more visible at night, to offer an image that was subtle enough as not to make it too powerful. We worked with the usual restrictions in this kind of project: to minimize the interventions on the façade, by using the electrical installation already existent; to preserve the aesthetics of the façade (both during the day and at night); to abide by the rules set by the Barcelona Urban Landscape Regulation and by the Light pollution Catalan laws.
The final result allows the visual presence of the building at night, while revealing new details on its façade. The subtlety of the solution allowed the hotel to be more visible, by maintaining its restrained architecture.
