Project description
Frater Huelva is a 2015 building located on the corner of the Andalusia and Honduras Avenues in Huelva (37°16’13.7″N 6°55’48.6″W). It is a new building for the residence of physically and severely affected disabled people. It also includes a day-care centre and the association’s administrative headquarters.
Highlights
- Solar protection of openings is achieved through folding panels made of veneer cladding in continuity with the facade cladding.
- Natural illumination of the interior areas is used for passages employing skylights in the spaces between rooms.
- The thermal envelope with minimum thermal bridges is resolved through an inverted roof with XPS external insulation and continuous insulation by LM inside in the TYL panelling and under flooring.
