Our Façade team excels at delivering award-winning, robust, light-weight façades
that bring to life the public face of a building.

The team employs advanced technology and works with high-performance materials to maximise environmental sustainability, increase longevity, and lower maintenance costs. Working on a vast array of building types and climate zones both in Australia and the world, we bring creativity and expertise to every project.

Our hands-on approach adds value at every stage of a project. We embrace the architect’s vision whilst meeting the project’s goals, understanding that an effective façade not only showcases architectural expression, but also plays a large role in the performance of the whole building.

Our integrated knowledge of structural engineering, building physics, advanced technologies and modelling techniques provides the strong foundation that allows us to deliver optimal solutions and performance for the most intricate and technical façades.

OUR IN-HOUSE CAPABILITY MEANS WE CAN PROVIDE THE APPROPRIATE TOOLS AND ANALYSIS STRATEGY FOR EACH SPECIFIC PROJECT – giving clients the optimal integrated solution to lift the design and execution to another level. We employ advanced technology and work with high-performance materials to maximise environmental sustainability, increase longevity and lower maintenance costs.

High-performance façades not only “look good”, they need to address a large range of atmospheric and environmental pressures. Our team considers diverse conditions including: temperature, wind speeds, thermal expansion, storms, humidity, mould, and seismic activity – finding solutions that combine functionality with beauty.
