Frente Marítimo de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

In one of our recent projects, we managed to enhance the overall aesthetics with a concealed drainage system. It is the Las Palmas seafront, in the Canary Islands.

MÉCA Bourdeaux

This aesthetic grating has been chosen for the MÉCA, the new cultural centre in the French region of Aquitania. This spectacular building has become an emblem for the city of Bordeaux.
