Tejas Borja celebrates the rehabilitation and sustainability in Hispalyt’s Roof Tile Architecture Awards 2021-2023
It is exciting to announce that Tejas Borja has, once again, been a protagonist in the Roof Tile Architecture Awards 2021-2023, organised by Hispalyt. This event recognises excellence in architecture through the use of ceramic tiles.
The jury of this edition, composed of renowned professionals of the sector, awarded the prizes in the three categories: New Construction, Refurbishment and the new category of Sustainability with Tile. We are proud to have collaborated on the winning projects that stand out for both their innovative design and their commitment to sustainability.

The rehabilitation project has restored and replaced the structure with local stone and laminated wood, adding a Flat-10 Red ceramic flat tile roof. They have also added improvements in lighting, ventilation and photovoltaic solar panels. This intervention has sought to preserve the essence of the old building and its relationship with the landscape, using natural materials and passive bioclimatic strategies.
Sustainability Award:
- Project: Alfacs
- Studio: Bajet Giramé and JAAS (Maria Giramé Aumatell, Pau Bajet Mena, Manuel Julià)
- Photography: Joan Guillamat

The transformation and renovation project involving two central buildings with visible C-50.21 Celler Shaded White curved tile pitched roofs, bungalows, a swimming pool, and new built terraces creates an environment of comfort and sustainability. With a focus on thermal inertia and the use of local materials, the project has revitalised the campsite, integrating natural and architectural elements that respect and enhance the coastal landscape, offering a unique and ecological experience for visitors.
While we celebrate and congratulate the teams involved and recognised for their projects, we underline the importance of the Hispalyt Roof Tile Architecture Awards as the biennial competition promoted with a double purpose: on the one hand, to value the architectural production of our country that uses ceramic tiles and, on the other, to seek a greater dissemination and social repercussion of the most significant works built during the corresponding period. It should be noted that, in the six editions held, several projects awarded for their architecture, design and use of roof tiles have used Tejas Borja ceramic roof tiles. This reaffirms our commitment to excellence and innovation in the sector.
