Buildings That Perform and Stand Out

Elegant Design Meets Optimal Performance

Today, modern facade or enclosure technology is as much about performance as appearance. Building skins provide proactive controls against the environment—offering thermal comfort, moisture control, sun penetration, etc.—just as a human’s skin serves as a filter to the environment.

Our facades division is engaged by architects, building teams, and contractors around the world to provide expertise on challenging systems. We are most recognized for work on cutting-edge glass and glazing, the team also specializes in digitally fabricated metal skins and facades, GFRC, reinforced polymers, stone, ultra high performance concrete, fabrics, terra cotta, and traditional precast—using multiple modeling and analysis software platforms.

Team LB does our best work when designing the building and skin together. This allows the facade to be integrated within the building systems, which accomplishes greater efficiencies and more elegant design details.
