Façade engineering

The preservation and renovation of the façade of the existing building required a thorough investigation of the best renovation techniques, taking into account the fragility of the façade stone. Our façade consultants formulated the most appropriate working method in a preliminary study, and followed it closely during the works.

Facade made of expanded metal

When choosing an expanded metal cladding, the challenge was to investigate a number of technical solutions for:

  • the combination of expanded metal and a curtain wall;
  • the realisation of a combined detail while maintaining the performance of both materials;
  • the mesh size according to the strength of the structure and the aesthetics of the façade.

The theoretical study and façade advice was assessed based on on-site mock-ups before implementation.


As executive architects , we help the designing architects with all technical and financial issues so that they can fully focus on the design. We also monitor the implementation and ensure that the objectives and plan are always crystal clear for all partners, so that together we can realise our dreams.
