Gunni & Trentino Flagship in Madrid
Cosentino
Madrid, Spain
Inspired in the scaly skin of a fish, the facade of the new Gunni & Trentino headquarters has transformed the existing building into an icon that reshapes the urban landscape of this central location on Paseo de la Castellana and Paseo de la Habana in Madrid. 

The serial pattern of hexagonal panels wraps a windowless volume that rests on a neutral black base. To reflect company values such as quality, exclusiveness, rigor, elegance, and timelessness, the interior design company has worked with the architecture studio Mendoza + Simal, choosing Dekton, the ultracompact surface developed by Cosentino, for cladding. Because it is perfectly moldable and has a limited weight and volume, this material manages to adapt to the unique design complying with high-precision standards. Marking a contrast with the bright main facade – built with 600 square meters of Dekton in the tone Popular Warm – the rear façade of the building, which surrounds an interior courtyard, is designed as a sober enclosure with more than 100 square meters of Dekton in the dark hue Domoos. The possibility of manufacturing large-format pieces that adapt to all sorts of dimensions simplifies the detailing of the facades and reduces the joints between panels, creating a smooth and uniform surface. This high-precision is particularly visible on the corners of the building, where the reduced thickness of the cladding pieces creates volumes that are an expression of geometric purity and material abstraction.

Resting on a neutral base clad in Dekton color Domoos, the main volume of the building is covered with a second skin of hexagonal Dekton scales in the polished tone Popular Warm, placed with a slight separation that makes the pieces appear
to float in the air.
