Architectural Mesh for cladding

The Embassy shopping centre by Suïssa Joiers in Andorra La Vella is located in the unique « Diamant » building, which has four levels and occupies a surface area of 2,000 m2. Its 23-metre-long façade is divided into three large shop windows that have been renovated by Moom Architects. The aim of the project was to give more visibility to the commercial building, so the existing fronts were enlarged and a big LED screen was placed over the glass envelope.

The exterior presentation to the public at street level has been designed to reflect what we are going to find inside: a high-end jewellery and watch shop. For this purpose, the walls have been covered with Codina Architectural’s gold-painted stainless steel MIES R metal mesh. The 28 m2 of architectural mesh have been placed in waves around the opaque perimeter of the ground floor and are bathed in LED lighting strips to enhance their brightness and act as a visual attraction.
