Fish Market District: themed façades on stone arcades above the water
Service

Façades and architectural features

We deliver decorative façades, imitation stone and brick, cornices, columns and complete elevation transformations for commercial buildings, hotels and parks.

We design and build decorative façades, elevations and bespoke architectural features for amusement parks, hotels, resorts, commercial venues, public spaces and private projects.

We can completely change the look of an existing building or create a themed layer from scratch for a new structure. We combine sculpture, surface modelling, imitations of natural materials, scenery and scenic painting so that a standard building can become a recognisable part of the whole development.

We create large façade areas as well as individual details: portals, surrounds, columns, cornices, reliefs, decorative corners, stone, timber or metal elements and unusual forms designed specifically for the building.

We work from architectural drawings, the client's visualisations or our own concept. We always match the technology to the substrate, scale, weather conditions, use and required durability.

What we create

We design and build decorative façades for parks, hotels, restaurants, attractions, commercial buildings and private properties. Using durable steel systems, lightweight XPS/EPS cores and advanced finishing techniques, we turn ordinary walls into stone castles, timber villages, rock cliffs, themed streets, luxury elevations or entirely original concepts.

We create realistic stone, timber, metal and concrete textures as well as artistic finishes. We can integrate lighting, signage, smoke and other effects. We build on site or fabricate to order.

Ordinary walls can become landmarks when structure, texture, light and story work together.

Technologies

Technology and execution

We select the façade technology according to the existing structure, substrate, surface area, weather exposure and the character of the designed form.

Depending on the project we work directly on a properly prepared substrate or build additional steel structures, lightweight space frames and modular elements. We use cementitious and polymer-modified systems, EPS/XPS, composites, mesh, reinforcement and other materials suited to the application.

Much of the surface is carved by hand. This lets us create irregular textures and details that a standard façade cannot offer: natural stone fractures, old walls, timber, erosion, damage, cracks and the marks of long-term ageing.

Once modelling is complete we apply multi-layer scenic painting, patination and depth of colour. The right combination of texture and colour produces a convincing imitation of the material, even when viewed from close range.

On large projects we can fabricate some elements off site, divide them into transport modules and then install them with invisible joints on site.

We coordinate our work with the architecture, structure, insulation, building services, lighting and other trades on the project. The aim is to achieve the visual effect without overlooking durability, safety and future maintenance.

Let us give your building a character no standard façade can.

Send us a visualisation, a façade design, photos of the existing building or even an initial idea. We will analyse the surface, structure, fabrication technology and installation method, and propose a solution tailored to the architecture and character of the whole project.
