Designed by architect Antonio Escario, the Andalusian Treasury Department in Seville, Spain, helps expand the city?s rich architectural history. The building?s diaphanous design features large glazing surfaces that give occupants panoramic views. But in one of Europe's warmest climates, designing a system to manage glare and solar heat gain was a significant challenge.

In response, Talleres y Decoraciones of Madrid specified Hunter Douglas roller shades throughout the building. The shades serve a tripartite purpose: they maintain Escario?s lovely transparent design intent; they create a light-filled environment with good views; and they shield the interiors from glare and heat. The result? An exquisite aesthetic effect that doesn?t sacrifice internal comfort.
