Porcelanosa creates near-seamless facade at new Houston showroom

For its Houston showroom, Porcelanosa put its best product forward—literally. The building was the first time Porcelanosa’s Krion material has been used as a solid surface with a ventilated facade. Designed by an in-house team, the objective was to showcase all the ways Krion could be used as a facade system. “We wanted to show the potential and possibilities of the material,” Ignacio Vidal Traver, an architect and Porcelanosa’s facade national director told The Architect’s Newspaper. “You can create seamless panels, use a CNC-machine to create louvers or allow for ventilation, and even melt it to create a curve, which is what I did for the canopies above the door.” The 32,291-square-foot interior exhibition space was designed to be consistent with Porcelanosa’s company-wide interior showroom branding and will be updated to reflect new offerings.
