Architecture shapes our surroundings and influences how we feel every day. Often, it’s the building’s façade that leaves a lasting impression. As we move through life, the spaces we inhabit—especially workplaces and commercial buildings—become part of our story. Among the many options, EQUITONE stands out for creating meaningful experiences and demonstrating how thoughtful design can shape both buildings and brand stories.
Where Function Meets Expression: The Value of Inspiring Façades
The façade of a building is far more than a protective outer shell—it’s the first impression, setting the stage for every interaction and experience inside. In workplace and commercial architecture, façades shape our daily lives, becoming the backdrop for achievements and moments of relaxation while influencing well-being and productivity.
A truly inspiring façade design goes beyond visual appeal. It establishes a strong sense of identity, enhances the building’s functionality, and creates an inviting atmosphere for everyone who enters. The choice of materials is fundamental to achieving these goals—and this is where EQUITONE stands out. Our materials empower architects and designers to realize their creative visions, delivering façades that are not only beautiful and durable, but also deeply expressive of the brand and purpose within.
The Seacret Hotel, Thailand
A great example of EQUITONE’s commitment to outstanding architecture is the Seacret Hotel in Thailand. Overlooking the coastline, the hotel needed a façade that blended with its natural setting while offering comfort and luxury.
EQUITONE came through with their expertise, providing durable fibrecement facade materials that were not only visually stunning but also capable of withstanding the region's tropical climate. The hotel's facade exudes elegance, setting the perfect ambiance for guests to unwind and enjoy a beautiful life by the sea.
Where Brand Meets Building: The Hotel’s Signature Façade
EQUITONE recognizes that a building’s façade is more than just an exterior—it’s a defining element of identity. Our extensive range of materials and finishes gives architects the freedom to realize their creative vision, whether aiming for a minimalist, contemporary look or a timeless, classic style.
A notable example is the Seacret Hotel, where the façade is perforated with the hotel’s logo, seamlessly integrating brand identity into the architecture. The project features EQUITONE [tectiva] TE90, a through-coloured fibre cement panel with a refined sanded surface and naturally expressive tones, offering both durability and understated elegance.
Designed by S36 Studio, this project demonstrates how thoughtful material selection and innovative design can transform a façade into a powerful statement—functional, beautiful, and unmistakably unique.
Functionality, Efficiency and Durability
EQUITONE’s facade materials are not only visually appealing—they are engineered for high performance, offering over 50 years of durability, superior weather resistance, and energy efficiency through ventilated rainscreen systems. EQUITONE panels are certified with Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), Cradle to Cradle, and other sustainability standards, and are designed to help reduce a building’s carbon footprint while creating comfortable, sustainable environments for occupants and visitors.
At EQUITONE, we are committed to shaping a sustainable future through responsible building practices. That’s why we prioritize the use of circular materials and environmentally conscious production processes. Our façades are designed not only to inspire architecturally but also to support a healthier planet, aligning seamlessly with the global shift toward green and sustainable architecture.
