At Ecohabitats, we understand hotel architecture as an integral process that unites design, technique, and execution. Each hotel construction project starts from an architecture designed for real use, guest comfort, and long-term energy efficiency.
The construction of the Sercotel El Prat hotel, located in El Prat de Llobregat (Barcelona), has already been completed. This project has established itself as a benchmark in sustainable hotel construction, demonstrating that bioconstruction, energy efficiency, and passive comfort can be successfully applied in new-build hotel buildings within an urban environment.
The work on the Sercotel Hotel El Prat reflects how a specialized sustainable construction company can develop efficient, healthy, and technically demanding hotel projects without sacrificing design or functionality.
A hotel construction project executed by Ecohabitats
The hotel construction and technical direction of the project have been carried out by Ecohabitats, a company specializing in sustainable construction, comprehensive renovation, and bioconstruction with more than 15 years of experience in Catalonia.
Our team has comprehensively managed all phases of the hotel construction project:
- Constructive design with sustainability criteria.
- Selection of natural and healthy materials.
- Execution of new construction at height in an urban environment.
- Implementation of energy efficiency systems.
- Technical supervision, quality control, and finishes.
- Indoor health and passive comfort control.
This comprehensive approach is key in any hotel construction project, where durability, energy consumption, and user well-being are critical factors. Very similar to the residential architecture that we carry out.
Bioconstruction applied to urban hotel construction
The construction of the Sercotel Hotel El Prat prioritized urban bioconstruction principles at all times, integrating advanced solutions to optimize the energy performance of the hotel building:
- Continuous high-performance insulation
- Optimized facade to reduce thermal losses
- Carpentry without thermal bridge and solar control glass
- Efficient mechanical ventilation systems
- Passive design oriented to the use of natural light
- Healthy and comfortable interior spaces
These strategies allow the hotel construction to respond to the current demands of the hotel sector in terms of sustainability, comfort, and efficiency.
Sustainable strategies in the construction of the hotel
1. Streamlined structural system
Optimization of the construction process and reduction of waste during construction.
2. Continuous high-performance facade
Key element to reduce the hotel’s energy demand in the long term.
3. Windows with solar control
They improve thermal comfort without compromising natural lighting.
4. Efficient ventilation and indoor health
Fundamental aspect in the construction of hotels due to the intensive use of spaces.
5. Roof prepared for solar energy
Designed to facilitate the future energy self-sufficiency of the building.
Sustainable hotel designed for passive comfort and intensive use
The final result of this hotel construction in Barcelona responds to a clear objective: to create an efficient, healthy hotel building adapted to the intensive use of the sector.
Benefits obtained after the construction of the hotel:
- Bright rooms with healthy materials.
- Reduction of energy consumption.
- Lower environmental impact.
- Improvement of indoor air quality.
- Greater comfort for guests and staff.
Hotel construction at height in El Prat de Llobregat
The construction at height of the hotel Sercotel in a consolidated urban environment has been a technical challenge that has required planning, experience, and precise coordination.
Ecohabitats has managed all phases of the work to minimize effects on the environment, optimize access, and guarantee a final result aligned with the standards of sustainable hotel construction.
This project demonstrates that it is possible:
- Apply energy efficiency without sacrificing architectural design.
- Develop sustainable hotel construction in the city.
- Integrate bioconstruction in new hotel construction.
Ecohabitats: sustainable construction company specializing in hotel construction
With this project, we reinforce our commitment to responsible, efficient, and durable hotel construction, aligned with people’s health and energy saving.
The Sercotel Hotel El Prat adds to our track record in construction and comprehensive renovation of educational, residential, coworking, office, and hotel projects throughout Catalonia.
