Excentrico: A Unique Openwork Block for Optimal Natural Ventilation

Introducing Excentrico: A Breath of Fresh Air

Excentrico stands out from traditional openwork blocks through its concave geometries, which accelerate wind speed after its passage. The design features a wider hole on the outside for the entry of wind and a smaller hole on the inside to create a rapid ventilation effect. This unique approach to ventilation sets Excentrico apart from other construction products in its category.

Designed by Dante Luna Arquitectos, Excentrico comes in three versions: square, circular, and mixed. These openwork blocks are manufactured using a single mold created by Aguayo Industries, ensuring consistency and quality. The blocks can be produced in different colors to meet the client's requirements, adding a touch of personalization to any concrete project.

Measuring 19 x 19 cm, Excentrico offers an ideal solution for spaces that require permeability, natural light entry, and ventilation. Its innovative design not only enhances the functionality of architectural spaces but also adds an interesting architectural detail to any project.

Excentrico was developed to address the challenges of creating permeable architectural spaces and solving climatic ventilation problems. By unifying the small thresholds, a visual continuity is achieved, resulting in a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing wall composition.

The development of Excentrico was not without its challenges. The design team faced the task of creating full-scale models using 3D printers and developing a custom production mold that adhered to the design specifications. Additionally, rigorous consistency and functionality tests were conducted to ensure the product's approval and suitability for local use.

Excentrico has garnered recognition for its innovative design and contribution to the field of construction materials. In 2021, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Building Materials and Construction Components category. This prestigious award recognizes designs that exhibit outstanding creativity, technical skill, and resourcefulness, making a positive impact on the quality of life.

With its unique properties and commitment to optimizing natural ventilation, Excentrico is revolutionizing the way we approach architectural design. By seamlessly integrating functionality and aesthetics, this openwork block offers a breath of fresh air for any space.
