... a bee puts to shame many an architect in the construction of her cells. But what distinguishes the worst architect from the best of bees is this, that the architect raises his structure in imagination before he erects it in reality.

Karl Marx, 1861-79/1977​

​​​Techtonica is a specialized architectural consulting team focusing on building envelopes, particularly façade and curtain wall.  We consider ourselves a design S.W.A.P. force, dedicated to realizing architects’ vision.  Architecture is at the heart of our work.  From design and engineering to the final user experiences, we strive to ensure that the soul of the architecture is fulfilled in the built reality.

​

Whether classical, modern, postmodern, or dazzlingly contemporary, the façade has always been a crucial element of architecture.  It serves as a demarcation between the interior and exterior environments, while also embodying the building's design concept.  It defines the building's appearance and influences the quality of the interior environment.  It is the building's face and the boundary of its physical space.  It provides light and creates shadows.  It can offer privacy or be open and transparent.

​​

While not part of the main structure, almost every component of a building façade plays a structural and performance role, making it an extremely complex system.  Techtonica's mission is to ensure that building façades perform their duties and function while realizing the design intent of the architect.

​

We serve as a plugin of the architect, as well as a reliable support for construction teams.  Our core mission is to establish a strong, two-way communication bridge between designers and builders, ensuring a successful result.​​
