Spanish term

doble piel en sandwich

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Architecture
This appears in the following architectural description of the construction of a winery. Do they actually mean a double layer of sandwiched leather? Thanks in advance for any help.

BODEGA FINCA ANTIGUA.
GRUPO MARTÍNEZ BUJANDA (2000-2002).
12.000 M2.
MISIÓN: PROYECTO DE ARQUITECTURA, INGENIERIA, GESTIÓN DE OBRA, IMAGEN CORPORATIVA
Proyecto de bodega en finca propia, promovida por la familia Martínez Bujanda, capaz para elaborar más de 6.000.000 kilos de uva.
Construida en torno a una balsa de 1 Ha.
de superficie, resuelve la nave de elaboración al oeste con una caja metálica y aséptica.
Era además casi la única opción para alcanzar los plazos posibles.
Esa capa de doble piel en sandwich que oculta la estructura, en el exterior tiene matices de texturas y colores metálicos diferentes.
El interior liso, acompaña el carácter aséptico característico de estas zonas, con sus depósitos de acero inoxidable, cabina de control y prensas.
A continuación la nave de barricas y botellero, en prefabricado de hormigón, forrada de piedra de la propia finca y monocapa, deja entrar los taludes de la balsa, en su interior.

double skin composite panels

I am not entirely sure about this, as thee don't seem to be any hits for this in spanish to investigate, so you could ask the client what this means. However, the above is what I have found as a possibility.

By the way, sandwich means it is made of two or more components, hence composite.

Skin is not leather in this case, IMHO. It is often used to refer to the cladding on the structure.

double skin sandwich

Fits.
Example sentence:

"The next step is to build a double skin sandwich with a core material and a second sheet. The core material can be chosen from a vide variety of lightweight materials."

Insulation can be double skin sandwich construction or insulation combined with the outer sheet as in a composite panel.
