Planning the Exterior

A building’s façade acts as both an extension of the interior and a response to its environment. It interacts continuously with natural elements such as daylight, shade, wind, and rain. Material selection, massing, and opening patterns all play a decisive role.

Orientation

Façade design is not just a protective layer; it also defines the public identity of the building. Performance requirements like thermal insulation, water resistance, and air flow management are addressed through an aesthetic lens—resulting in an exterior shell that elegantly serves its technical purpose.
