The Role of Facade in Biophilic Architecture
The facade is the most immediate tactile and visual element of a building, an interface between people and place. When executed with biophilic intent, a facade does more than enclose space; it interacts with its surroundings, adapts to light and climate, and echoes the textures of the natural world.
Fibre cement, as a material, is uniquely positioned to support this. EQUITONE’s through-coloured panels are composed of natural raw materials; cement, cellulose and mineral pigments, that result in a surface rich with depth and authenticity. Unlike synthetic imitations, our material expresses honesty and permanence. It feels grounded, mineral, and part of the landscape.
