Façade engineering

At IDOM, façade and building envelope design is a multidisciplinary engineering discipline where structure, performance, constructability, and architectural intent converge. We have developed a wide range of façade typologies, from highly rationalized systems to complex geometries requiring advanced structural solutions, always ensuring technical feasibility and efficient construction.

Our parametric envelope design methodology allows us to evaluate and optimize key performance drivers such as solar control, daylight admission, thermal transmittance, structural efficiency, and cost. By integrating these parameters from early design stages, we deliver façade solutions that are technically robust, energy-efficient, and precisely tailored to the requirements of each project.

The building envelope is both the environmental regulator of the interior space and the interface between the building and the city. Our approach balances comfort, sustainability, durability, and aesthetics, delivering envelopes that enhance user experience while meeting demanding performance and lifecycle criteria.
