We see facades as a whole system: design, engineering and climate-led intelligence working together.

WHY US

We’re a
strong fit if…

01
You want facade specialists who excel at engineering and design.
02
Your ideas need refinement, not reduction.
03
You value early holistic input that shapes the right strategy from the start.
04
You need one integrated facade approach to design, performance, and buildability.
05
You care about buildings that enrich people’s experiences and improve their environment.

Approach

What we do
best.


We design and resolve building enclosures for both new construction and existing buildings, from early concept through to construction.

Bioclimatic design sits at the core of our approach. We start with the climate as the primary driver, and we use it to shape the facade’s development, details, and performance over time.

Our work moves through design, procurement, and execution without losing sight of the idea or the performance it needs.

Whatever the scale or typology, we help you find the right approach.

How we support your project:

  • Complete building envelope, including facades, and waterproofing

  • Design, detailing, and specifications

  • Environmental analysis and performance modeling

  • Procurement strategies

  • Shop Drawings and submittals reviews

  • Mock-ups and testing support

  • Fabrication and site inspections

  • Construction phase support

Working

Our way of working.

We get involved early and help shape the building envelope.


We look at the entire system. Design and form, climatic performance, cost and time constraints, materials and craft, and ease of production and construction guide the project toward the right strategy.

Most firms tackle a few pieces of the puzzle.

We approach it as a whole.

How it communicates the intent. Concept, geometry, materials, craft, appearance.
Architecture Engineering Bioclimatics
How can it be optimized. Structural forces, weight of materials, long-term durability.
How climate shapes the facade. Thermal comfort, energy use, daylight and glare, heat, reflections, embodied carbon, lifecycle impact.

These aren’t separate streams for us. Their convergence is where we do our best work and it’s what sets us apart.

“They really do connect the dots between design and engineering in a way most firms don’t. With Techne, you feel it immediately when you sit down with them.”
