Hotel Diagonal Barcelona

hotel diagonal barcelona, design by capella garcia arquitectura, is located on the diagonal avenue, the main artery of barcelona and shares its block with the office building torre agbar. the building constitutes a longitudinal prism, forming a screen, with vertical corbels on the facade which stand out like white keys on a black background. the corbels are set out like a composition on the horizontal lines of the storeys, like a musical score. the glass box has three degrees of opacity and a different tone of color in each storey, a black opaque band covering the framework and installation-work; another serigraphed band, at the height of the railing offering visual protection from the inside, and another transparent band, at the height of the window which provides views and ventilation.
