The cooperative research center ‘CIC EnergiGUNE’ was founded in 2007 in Vitoria, Álava, the Basque province in the north of Spain. The center’s beautiful headquarters building was designed with a unique striped appearance. Palsun 12 mm Solar Olympic stripes were used as siding for the lower level of the building, in order to blend with its overall look and provide a fresh color contrast to the golden hues of the outer layer.
