Balearia’s terminal and headquarters in Denia has become an emblematic building for the city of Alicante. It is the ferry terminal and gateway from the Balearic Islands, but also a social meeting point for residents. Architect Fernando Casqueiro has designed a building with a total constructed area of 6,523 m2 plus another 2,841 m2 of lower ground floor that offers all the necessary services for cargo and passenger transport, a departure lounge, a leisure and restaurant area open to the public, and offices for 140 people.
The enclosure was built with a roof with a great thermal insulation of concrete and a glazed facade, for which low solar factor screen-printed glass was used. In the area which is most exposed to the sun, a stainless-steel lattice was added, resolved with the EIFFEL 40100 metal mesh by Codina Architectural.
