Origine Porto Gaia
Porto, Portugal
High-performance fire and sound insulation solutions have been fitted in the entrances to all the rooms at the newest five-star riverfront hotel in Vila Nova de Gaia, the Origine Porto Gaia, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. To meet the high technical requirements of this property, the room entrances and corridors have been fitted with the Portaro® EI30 AC42dB solution. This system, which combines the door, frame and accessories in a ready-to-install solution, ensures fire resistance for up to 30 minutes and high sound insulation of up to 42 decibels, guaranteeing the tranquillity, quiet and privacy that are essential to the guest experience.
Combined with technical performance, the project’s complex and dual aesthetic identity called for a highly customised approach to interior design. To meet this visual challenge, the Naturdor® Walnut finish took centre stage, emphasising the connection to nature through the texture and authenticity of the natural wood veneer. Additionally, and to achieve a harmonious blend with the various décors, several units feature lacquered surfaces from the Lacdor range in shades customised for the project, where black and coffee blue take centre stage.
The exponent of this aesthetic approach has taken the form of a unique adaptation: most of the doors feature two distinct sides. In these cases, the side facing the corridors, which is communal in nature, is a different colour from the interior side, which is designed for the privacy of the bedroom. This versatility demonstrates how Vicaima enables spaces to be differentiated in a personalised way, whilst maintaining the required technical and safety standards.
