A folded façade for free-form architectural geometries

Kalzip’s FlexForm façade enables complex design ideas to be transformed into reality.
As a folded façade, it opens up new creative possibilities for three-dimensional building envelopes, dynamic lines and precisely crafted façade structures.

Whether parametric designs, free-form geometries or faceted surfaces – FlexForm offers the ability to realise sophisticated façade concepts in a way that is appropriate to the material.

Design freedom for sophisticated architecture
The FlexForm façade offers maximum design freedom. Custom-designed folds create three-dimensional façades with depth, texture and a dynamic interplay of light and shadow.

Typical applications:

  • Folded façades with clean lines
  • Faceted façades with a nuanced sense of depth
  • Parametric façade geometries
  • Free-form façades and bespoke building envelopes
  • Three-dimensional metal façades

From the initial design concept to a workable façade

Complex geometries place high demands on planning and implementation. FlexForm helps to develop these designs in a technically verifiable manner.

  • Translation of 3D designs into feasible façade elements
  • Support with geometry, detail and materiality
  • Close coordination during the early planning stages
  • An understanding of parametric and digital design processes

Areas of application

The FlexForm façade is particularly well suited to projects with high architectural standards:

  • Cultural and public buildings
    Expressive façade solutions for architecture that fosters a sense of identity and makes a strong visual impact.
  • Office and administrative buildings
    Distinctive building envelopes designed to enhance functional architecture and create a clear sense of identity.
  • Educational buildings
    Dynamic façade structures that provide wayfinding and enhance the architectural quality of public spaces.
  • Brand architecture and corporate design
    Unique façade geometries to accurately translate brand identity into built form.
  • Revitalisation with a new façade identity
    Transformation of existing buildings through sculptural, folded façades with a clear design statement.

100% ALuminium.

SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIAL.

Kalzip FlexForm® is made from recyclable aluminium sourced in Europe. It is manufactured using a high proportion of recycled material, with short transport distances and minimal environmental impact. The profiles are durable, low-maintenance and can be fully returned to the material cycle. In this way, modern façade design becomes an investment in sustainability and climate protection.
