Sustainable Materials for Facades
Sustainable facade materials are redefining modern architecture by offering a perfect balance between aesthetic appeal and environmental responsibility. These materials—ranging from renewable resources like wood and cork to durable options like recycled ceramics, and natural stone—minimise environmental impact while enhancing building performance. Advances in technology have made it possible to develop materials with low embodied carbon, improved thermal insulation, and superior weather resistance, reducing energy consumption and increasing the longevity of structures.
Technical Textiles
Technical textiles, crafted from recycled fibers such as fiberglass, carbon fibers, and basalt, offer a sustainable and innovative solution for modern architecture. These lightweight, permeable materials allow for natural ventilation, making them particularly effective in hot climates by reducing heat buildup and promoting airflow.
Recycled Ceramics
Our ceramics are crafted using 50% recycled waste, minimising environmental impact. Produced bespoke rather than mass-manufactured, they reduce waste and energy usage. This approach allows tailored creations, offering custom colors, finishes, and effects to suit unique design needs while prioritising sustainability.
Sunbreaks for Facades
Sunbreaks are a stylish and practical solution for facades, particularly in hot climates. By filtering and diffusing sunlight, they reduce glare, minimize heat gain, and help maintain cooler interior temperatures, enhancing energy efficiency.
Clay Plaster
Carving from a block is a primordial technique that goes back to Stone Age tools. This near-instinctive technique has developed over the centuries, mainly among sculptors. We fashion our structures and cabinets by assembling the pieces following the direction of the grain, in order to obtain a single block which can be carved to make structures with various functions. From this new technique comes a new appearance and a new, primordial beauty.
Recycled Glass
Our 100% recycled glass, sourced from pre-consumer blown glass, is a testament to sustainability and innovation. This eco-conscious material offers vibrant colors, unique textures, and a striking visual impact, making it ideal for bold, expressive facades. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, recycled glass contributes to reducing waste while providing durability and low maintenance.
Glass Blocks allow natural light to flood interiors, creating bright, inviting spaces while maintaining privacy. With excellent thermal and sound insulation properties, glass blocks enhance energy efficiency without sacrificing aesthetics.
Burned Wood
The process of charring the wood not only enhances its natural grain but also increases its durability by making it more resistant to weathering, pests, and fire. This eco-friendly technique creates a unique, textured finish that adds warmth and character to any building.
Natural Stone
Timeless and sophisticated, natural stone brings a sense of permanence and authenticity to any facade. Renowned for its durability and natural beauty, each stone carries unique textures and tones that create visually striking exteriors. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, natural stone is a sustainable material, offering longevity and low maintenance over its lifecycle.
3D Panels
3D panels offer a unique, single-surface solution for facades, where the panel is scored in a precise pattern to create a striking three-dimensional effect. This innovative design minimizes waste material by utilizing the full panel surface, making it an environmentally conscious choice for architects and designers. The textured surface adds depth and visual interest to any facade, while its lightweight construction ensures ease of installation.
