Designed by Enero Arqitectura, the Hospital Quirónsalud Córdoba in Spain is a unique, modern piece of architecture that represents “the hospital of the future”. The hospital is a leader of the Andalusian private healthcare system in terms of technology, comfort and hotel services for both the patient and the professionals who provide their services within it.
The building itself gives great prominence to light, which is filtered through a latticework of aluminium and glass that covers the façade. The lattice is bronze and gold coloured, whose shades change depending on the inclination of the sun.
The glass for the façade was carefully chosen to match the latticework colours and shades. Guardian SunGuard® High Performance (HP) Amber 41/29 was selected for its combination of aesthetic and performance qualities. The coated solar control glass has a light bronze appearance combined with very good thermal insulation.
The multi-functional coating has a very uniform, homogeneous appearance and a low U value of 1.1 in double-glazing and 0.7 in triple glazing, which shall help in providing exceptional control over the temperature inside the building, keeping patients and staff comfortable all year round.
