Single-skin precast elements or prefabricated masonry
Especially for more challenging facade designs, it is worth considering constructing the facade with single-skin prefabricated facade elements. The building envelope is closely linked to the construction methodology. Examples where single-skin prefabricated elements can provide a solution include:
Masonry with half or full bricks,
Challenging forms executed in concrete,
Concrete with specific finishes such as polishing, blasting, or waxing,
Concrete in a color or with a texture.
Particularly with single-skin elements, important design considerations include: material usage, desired aesthetics, form, environmental impact, and sustainability.
