Envelope · Discipline 10
Every panel unique.
One reading.
Large-Scale 3D Printed Façades — Every panel unique. One reading.
Overview
Our façade program produces printed envelope systems — every panel unique, all resolving to a single legible geometry. Solar performance, acoustic performance and formal expression are tuned in the same model.

Process
How this discipline is made.
Step 01
Solar model
Every elevation is analysed against a full-year sun model before panel geometry is set.
Step 02
Full-scale mock
A 6-panel mock-up is printed, tested for weather and signed off before rollout.
Step 03
Just-in-time
Panels ship in the install sequence, numbered per elevation to eliminate site inventory.

Questions
Asked often.
- Do you handle installation?

- What warranty do you offer?
- Structural: 25 years. Finish: 15 years exterior, subject to specification.
- How is the sub-frame handled?
- We engineer a standard uni-strut sub-frame that any local façade contractor can install.
