Urban park gets a futuristic makeover.

Vanceva™ color interlayers transform park into a colorful playground.

Colorful glass can radically transform urban spaces. José Miguel Barandiaran Park, located in the little village of Beasain in Basque Country (an autonomous community in northern Spain), had seen better days. To bring new life to the park, the town turned to Óscar Luquin & Diego Simón from olm arquitectura, and with the help of Tvitec glass, the park was reborn. The architects envisioned a futuristic playground that is enjoyable for both parents and children. Hovering over the swings, slides, and other equipment is a shelter from the sun and heat. To keep it light and bright, the roof features colored skylights that offer a changing kaleidoscope of color and light throughout the space.

Tvitec created the skylights using Vanceva color PVB interlayers of green, orange, yellow, and blue between two 10-mm-thick tempered panes of glass. Tvitec made precise cutting work of the ovals in varying sizes with their sophisticated numerical control machines (CNC) in their Cubillos factory. The laminated glazing system will provide lasting color and easy-to-maintain durability for years to come. Laminated glass also offers significant safety benefits, since the glass will adhere to the interlayer in the unlikely event of an impact.

Taking cover from the heat of the sun has never been as much fun as ducking under the UFO-inspired shelter. The project has generated an urban atmosphere that is truly delightful.
