This contemporary meetings and events venue in northern Portugal has a clean-cut facade finished with Lunawood Thermowood battens.

Also at the entrance to the building, the white overall look is softened with thermowood which also works great as an echo-reducing material.

The design makes a statement with the use of sustainable Thermowood, while keeping the venue cool in a Mediterranean environment.
