Facade Engineering

Our façade design expertise is unparalleled, emphasising sustainability and aesthetic excellence. A prime example is our works on the Western Australian Museum, showcasing our dedication to delivering state-of-the-art designs that harmonise with both the built and natural environments.

A deeper dive into building exteriors

At Hera Engineering our façade engineering capabilities are a testament to our interdisciplinary expertise in physics, material science, construction, and the art of composition. We understand that the façade of a building is not just an aesthetic feature, but a crucial element in its overall performance and sustainability. Our approach is to tailor each façade to the local climate, ensuring that it meets and exceeds both performance requirements and design aspirations.

During the design phase, we focus on developing façade concepts that are efficient and effective. Our technical experts meticulously account for various factors including thermal transfer, energy efficiency, air infiltration, moisture management, structural integrity, acoustics, life safety, and comfort. We believe in the importance of testing solutions with an emphasis on constructability, ensuring that the final design can be seamlessly executed in the construction phase. Our commitment to excellence in façade engineering is reflected in our attention to detail and our pursuit of innovative solutions that enhance the overall performance of the buildings we work on.
