Architectural Skin Design

Metal facades that inspire architecture with its own identity

At Teczone, we believe that every building deserves a unique skin. That’s why we developed Architectural Skin Design, a comprehensive system of architectural metal envelopes designed for architects seeking to express their vision with freedom and precision. Whether for commercial, industrial, residential, or cultural projects, our solutions combine aesthetics, energy efficiency, and unlimited customization.

Light, Shadow and Matter

A journey through the architectural skin

We have prepared this monograph to explore how light and matter meet in contemporary architecture. Through a visual and conceptual journey, it invites reflection on the role of light as a design tool—capable of revealing textures, shaping volumes, and transforming the perception of space.

Each page is an invitation to observe architecture through its skin: façades as living surfaces that breathe, change, and interact with their surroundings. The publication combines theory, real case studies, and constructive examples that show how metal profiles can become instruments for composing with light and shadow.

The monograph addresses topics such as solar control, chromatic dynamism, the influence of finishes on thermal and visual perception, and the importance of profile geometry in creating rhythm and depth on the façade. It also includes design tips and built works that illustrate the expressive potential of modular systems.

More than a technical guide, it is a poetic view of architecture as a language—where every rib, color, and texture forms a unique visual score.
An inspiration for those who seek to design buildings that speak with light, respond to time, and engage with the gaze.

Design with light: Perforated metal façades

Architectural Skin Design metal profiles can be manufactured with perforations, allowing us to design lightweight, expressive façades that not only offer a unique image but also act as intelligent filters for natural lighting.

With different perforation patterns, whether uniform or torn, we offer natural light control solutions that add character to the façade and respond to the challenges of contemporary architecture: design, comfort and sustainability.

Colour and protection for architecture with identity

Architecture comes to life with a vibrant and versatile colour palette, offering complete creative freedom in envelope design. The coatings, tailored to the level of environmental exposure, offer durability and performance in any environment.

Our technical advisors will help you choose the most suitable colour, confirm its availability, and recommend the most appropriate coating for your project.

Custom designs for unique facades

Our systems allow for the creation of customized metal facades with a high degree of geometric and chromatic flexibility. Thanks to a wide range of profiles, perforations, finishes, and colors, architects can design unique envelopes that interact with the light, the environment, and the building’s identity.

MyWall | Custom profile with exposed fixing

The white façade of the Sant Vicent del Raspeig sports centre, with perforated MyWall with customised geometry, combines robustness and luminosity for a public space with high traffic.

IBEO-250 | Louvres with concealed fixing

IBEO-250 is a comprehensive system of metal louvres with an effective width of 250 mm, designed for the creation of ventilated façades with high architectural value. Its profiles—available in geometries such as Line, Base, Drop, Rise, Peak, MultiPeak or MultiBase—allow for customised configurations tailored to each project’s requirements.
The concealed fixing system using tongue-and-groove joints and the Omega O-250 support profile ensures fast, secure, and efficient installation, both in new builds and renovation projects. It also significantly improves thermal insulation and delivers superior energy performance with a dynamic and distinctive aesthetic.

TZ Profiles | Standard profiles with exposed fixing

The curved metal cladding connects the vertical façade with the curved top finish, offering continuity even at the triangular meeting point between the two main façades. Curved metal enclosures are a strong and customised solution for each project.

KingZip | Curved trays from roof to façade

Bunjil Place is an ambitious civic and cultural complex in Narre Warren, Melbourne, bringing together library, theatre, gallery, municipal offices and community spaces under a unified envelope. The façade and roof, made of curved KingZip louvres profiled on site, provide formal continuity and define the building's iconic silhouette.
