The Light of Barcelona and METEORA Texture: A Natural Pairing
"Light, for me, is the principal element of architecture."
Antoni Gaudí
Barcelona boasts a unique light, a warmth that enhances the forms and materials of its buildings. If you have ever strolled through its streets, you will surely agree with these words from the famous Catalan architect.
In the Horta-Guinardó neighbourhood, the first project clad with Stoneo's new PURE texture, METEORA, showcases how a ventilated facade can blend seamlessley with its surroundings and transform a space.
Our architectural office, aiming to achieve a natural finish with a pronounced stone-like effect, recommended the use of METEORA. Its non-porous, heterogeneous roughness, completely matte and free from artificial gloss, provided the perfect integration with the Mediterranean architecture and the character of the neighbourhood.
In renovations, a drastic change can often be a sensitive issue for tenants. However, in this case, the benefit was clear: the building has been given a new skin that goes beyond just the surface layer.

Why Choose the ULMA Ventilated Facade System?
Apart from its aesthetic appeal, choosing the ULMA ventilated facade system was crucial in terms of durability and efficiency. In a city with high humidity and proximity to the sea, our solution offers:
- Enhanced resistance and longevity in saline environments.
- 92% natural components, ensuring sustainability and quality.
- Almost zero water absorption (0.1%), protecting the façade from moisture, salt, and deterioration.
With 338 m² of METEORA panels installed, the renovation has restored the building's strength and character while revitalising the area.
