Project Description

The Mileone 22@ project, located in Barcelona’s technology district, stands out not only for its innovative and sustainable design but also for incorporating Flexbrick technology, which plays a crucial role in its execution. Currently, Mileone 22@ houses the offices of Glovo, one of the most renowned startups in the home delivery sector.

Flexbrick has been essential in creating the dynamic and aesthetically appealing façades of Mileone 22@. This modular technology allows for great flexibility in design, enabling the creation of textured surfaces that give the building a unique character. Flexbrick modules have been used to develop an architectural envelope that not only beautifies but also enhances the building’s energy performance.

The application of Flexbrick in Mileone 22@ includes:

Ventilated Façades: Flexbrick has been used to construct ventilated façades that facilitate air circulation, reducing the need for artificial air conditioning and contributing to the building’s energy efficiency.

Solar Protection: Flexbrick modules act as shading elements, reducing direct sun exposure and improving thermal comfort in interior spaces. This is crucial for maintaining a pleasant temperature and reducing energy consumption.

Custom Design: Thanks to Flexbrick’s versatility, unique and customized patterns have been designed to reflect the identity of the Mileone 22@ project, perfectly integrating into the urban context of 22@ Barcelona.

Sustainability: The use of Flexbrick, made with recyclable and durable materials, aligns with the project’s sustainability goals, promoting responsible and eco-friendly construction practices.

The presence of Glovo’s offices in Mileone 22@ underscores the importance of this project in Barcelona’s business and technology landscape. Glovo, with its innovative and dynamic approach, finds in Mileone 22@ a space that reflects its values of sustainability, efficiency, and advanced design.

In summary, the application of Flexbrick in the Mileone 22@ project not only contributes to its aesthetics and functionality but also reinforces the project’s commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. Additionally, as the headquarters of Glovo’s offices, Mileone 22@ positions itself as a hub of innovation and technology in Barcelona’s 22@ district.

Project Description

Threesixty Foodhall is a modern-day arena that redefines how we experience food and spaces
in Kuwait, by catering to customers’ elevated expectations for quality, service, and convenience.

The design and ambiance of the Food Hall designed by the firm Lines for this Mall give the
allure of an Al Fresco marketplace while maintaining its modern and chic feel. The terrace can be enjoyed during winter months and overlooks the courts of Rafa Nadal Academy Kuwait.
The natural light effect in the corridors is achieved by the use of a checkerboard pattern of
ceramics in the ceiling, enabled by the use of Flexbrick lattice, which brings a natural texture
and tricks the mind in dismissing the reality of this lack of contact with the exterior light.
The center hosts a lush green seating area, which reinforces the ongoing eco-friendly goals.
Visitors are encouraged to support our sustainable efforts by being asked to recycle all waste
consciously.

Project Information

In the Cambrils Resort events centre project, the Flexbrick® system has been used to clad the façade of the central events building. With a design in two shades of terracotta ceramic, the system blends in perfectly with the surroundings, adding style and personality to the building, while acting as a solar filter.

The selected terracotta ceramic shades not only embellish the structure, but also harmonise with the local landscape and architecture, creating a sense of authenticity and belonging. The resulting visual effect of the Flexbrick® system gives the Cambrils Resort events building a unique and sophisticated aesthetic
appeal.

In addition to its aesthetic function, the Flexbrick® system serves a key practical
purpose by acting as a sunscreen. Its modular and textured design allows the entrance of natural light into the building to be regulated, ensuring a pleasant and comfortable environment for the occupants. This feature not only improves the wellbeing of visitors, but also enhances energy efficiency by reducing the need for artificial lighting and controlling the indoor temperature.

In summary, the use of the Flexbrick® system in the central event building of the Cambrils Resort is an outstanding example of how prefabricated tile technology can combine functionality and aesthetics in architecture. By blending into its surroundings, providing style and acting as a sunscreen, this project demonstrates the versatility and benefits of the Flexbrick® system in creating attractive,
sustainable spaces that are harmonious with their natural surroundings.
