The Elite Hotel Academia, designed by Archus, has two distinctive features which are at the basis of its splendorous gold facetted facade. First of all there depth differences between the aluminum composite cassettes leading to a staggered buildup of the facade. Secondly its AluNatur Gold finish was applied in two different gloss levels (40 gloss and 90 gloss), further highlighting the natural beauty of the brushed aluminum; and giving the facade a "living" color feel. The result is an aesthetic welcome that attracts the attention of travelers from Uppsala station.
