Is your façade treating building services as an afterthought or a feature?

For too long, building services have been swept under the rug. But when coordinated early, they add rhythm, depth, and honesty to a façade. We don’t have to pretend they don't exist.

Here are 4 ways to integrate building services into your façade:

1.     Louvred Façades: Affordable concealment that maintains airflow and protection.
2.     Color & Material: Use intentional matching or contrast so services don't look disconnected.
3.     Setbacks & Volume: Recess your vents to help them blend into the building mass.
4.     Alignment: Use mullions and floor lines to make services feel like part of the architecture.
