Fundermax Facades - Original & unique
Original projects invite reflection - they are designed to make people think. This fabulous hotel in Argentina does exactly this.
Set in the most picturesque of environments, surrounded by vineyards and untouched terrain, one of the key challenges for the architects of Hotel de Uco was to source facade materials which would work in harmony with this magnificent landscape and take advantage of the rugged beauty it has to offer.
Clever use of light, up lights and low lights against the facade, uphold the raw appeal of this stunning hotel. Each facade is clearly distinguishable. Glazed windows look out onto the Valle de Uco and maximise the southern orientation, while the facades towards the mountains are protected by automatic parasols. On the north side, exposed to harsh sunlight, the facade is predominantly closed with just essential openings. Since it is situated in an earthquake zone, the whole building has been designed in a compartmentalised style.
