What is the first thing you notice when you approach a building? That’s right: the façade. It creates identity, shapes the public perception of architecture and, at the same time, protects the building’s interior from external influences.
As a general contractor for façades and building envelopes, we develop bespoke façade solutions – from the early planning phase through design, production and installation to maintenance. In doing so, we take into account all factors that contribute to a high level of occupant comfort, including daylight, ventilation and security, as well as defence requirements.
With projects across the DACH region, the USA, the Middle East, Singapure and worldwide, we deliver building envelopes of every scale.
The requirements placed on a façade vary significantly depending on the type and use of a building. Our experience from numerous national and international projects shows that the more specialised the use, the more bespoke the façade solution needs to be.
Airports place particular demands on noise protection and operational safety. We deliver secure façade solutions for areas where noise protection is critical and efficiently plan installation processes so that new buildings can be completed in a short construction time and during extensions or renovations, 24/7 operations are not interrupted.
Large-scale, repetitive façade grids must be delivered on schedule and to consistently high standards – after all, these façades are seen by millions of spectators.
Hybrid use concepts require flexible façade solutions that can be precisely adapted to different sections of a building – without compromising on functionality or aesthetics.
Longevity is key here: we develop façades with a service life of 50 years or more, while specifically optimising the building’s lifecycle costs.
Buildings with enhanced protection requirements need façade solutions that go far beyond standard requirements. We develop structures with increased levels of protection – for example, against blast pressure (bomb blast) or extreme wind loads (hurricane protection) – as well as burglar-resistant and bullet-resistant systems for security-critical applications.
Not every façade needs to be replaced. With systematic renovation solutions, we extend the service life of existing building envelopes while simultaneously improving their energy performance.
Our range of services extends from the energy-efficient renovation of individual components to the complete renewal of the building envelope. The process follows a clearly defined approach: a thorough assessment of the existing building is followed by energy-efficiency improvements, professional opening of the façade and, finally, the reliable, sequential installation of the new façade elements.
The goal: sustainable preservation of value over decades – achievable even while the building remains in operation, without significantly compromising occupant comfort.
Prefabricated unitised façades enable fast and precise installation, as the individual façade elements are manufactured in the factory and delivered largely pre-assembled. This reduces construction times, minimises weather-related delays and ensures consistently high quality – often requiring only a few days of installation per floor.
Within our product lines, we offer two systems:
Both systems also actively support the achievement of sustainability certifications such as DGNB and LEED.
Where bespoke architecture and a transparent appearance are the priority, stick curtain walling offers maximum design freedom. It also provides logistical flexibility on site and comparatively straightforward maintenance throughout the building’s service life.
