Architecture as an experience: Solid surface solutions at the Puerta América design hotel

What were the challenges, and how did we come up with a solution?

The Puerta América hotel in Madrid is regarded as a unique piece of architecture. Each floor was designed by a different internationally renowned architectural firm and has its own distinctive stylistic identity. The challenge was to faithfully implement the individual designs, which featured complex geometries and unusual finishes.

Solid surface material was used to reliably create organic shapes, seamless surfaces and bespoke fittings. This resulted in high-quality components that distinctly reflect the hallmarks of the architects’ visions.
