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
Science meets
design.
Science meets design.
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.
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.”
