Architectural Building Envelopes - We engineer the boldest design ambitions.
Our extensive experience in the technical design of complex building envelopes allowed us to become one of the current major players in the market.
A reliable and proactive company anticipating further development of existing technologies
We transform every architectural challenge into an opportunity of growth and of technological research. Every façade system is conceived to obtain an innovative, high performing product, which emphasizes the aesthetics and the beauty of the architect’s concept, even the boldest one.
The attitude we have to set ever more challenging goals and the need to find, for every project, the best balance among aesthetics, costs, performance and timing have accustomed us to high-quality and unique works that, starting from our know-how, lead to the utmost customization of every single building envelope.
Our long-lasting ability of designing, selecting and fostering loyalty with the best supply chain, of ensuring a strict quality control and of managing every process until installation, makes us a reliable partner for your success.
Today, Focchi Group is not only in the service of architecture, but it is key to its evolution.
