Terracotta façade cladding

Natural clay, engineered for the façade

Terracotta brings the warmth and texture of fired clay to a modern building envelope. We plan terracotta panels and louvres as part of the complete façade, coordinated with the windows, glazing and cladding around them.

How a terracotta façade is built

Terracotta is usually installed as a ventilated façade: the clay elements are fixed to an aluminium sub-frame, with an air gap between the cladding and the building wall. The sub-frame, fixings and joint layout are worked out for each project.
