10 buildings designed with integrated PV panels
Photovoltaic (PV) panels convert solar energy from the sun into electricity. Recognized as a source of natural and clean energy that is helping to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change, the use of photovoltaic power is expanding rapidly across many sectors.
PV panels are commonly integrated into a roof’s structure — however, they can also be fitted as part of a building’s facade. PV roof tiles are solar panels designed to look and function like commonplace roofing materials. Their design ensures they are seamlessly combined with a roof’s standard tiles.

Royal De Ree Holland
Dutch flower bulb company Royal De Ree Holland had plans to renovate their roof for some time, but the decision to install a photovoltaic system accelerated the project. The renovation involved their two locations in Lisserbroek (North Holland). From March to July 2019, a total of 33,000 m² of roof surface was insulated, covered with Elevate’s RubberGard EPDM waterproofing membrane and equipped with 11,000 solar panels.
Flower bulbs are treated in air-conditioned halls, so moisture infiltration and lack of proper insulation can have a harmful impact. A few years ago, there was a collapse on the roof due to water accumulation. In order to avoid a new collapse and following the decision to install solar panels, an assessment of th... More

Coca-Cola Headquarters Spain
If streamlined and smooth is the contemporary standard for corporate architecture, then the architecture bureau DL+A arquitectos has certainly shaken that idea up and added subtle depth in its design for the Coca-Cola headquarters in Madrid. The building, with its Y-shaped ground plan, emerges as an openwork block, and the combination of the solid darker façade sections with the dynamic green double-glazed wall is instantly eye-catching. Its shining interior is revealed as a veritable geode, but in this case a bottle-green one rather than amethyst.
Situated on the northern edge of Madrid, this building follows the contemporary tendency among office real estate towards energy-efficient installations and a conscious use of recycled and re... More
