Lunar New Year, Proven Reliability: Custom Façade Engineering & Delivery
Lunar New Year, Proven Reliability: Custom Façade Engineering & Delivery To much of the world, the Lunar New Year is a time to slow down, marked by reunion, reflection, and celebration. For SunFrame, however, the weeks leading up to the holiday represent a different kind of tradition: a concentrated test of discipline, coordination, and responsibility. […]
Rainy Season Resilience: Integrated Facade Drainage
Rainy Season Resilience: Integrated Facade Drainage Lessons from the Brazilian Carnival Challenge The Brazilian Carnival is not only a globally renowned cultural festival but also marks a period of extreme environmental challenge for urban buildings. Held during the Southern Hemisphere’s summer rainy season, the combination of short, intense rainstorms and high-frequency urban activity places exceptionally […]
Curtain Wall Design as Engineering Judgment
Curtain Wall Design as Engineering Judgment How SunFrame Integrates Structure, Materials, and Interfaces in Complex Façade Projects In many projects, curtain walls are often seen as “façade systems” or merely a combination of materials. At SunFrame, however, we maintain that the essence of curtain wall design lies not in the panels themselves, but in the completeness […]
From Curtain Wall to Facade: SunFrame’s Insights into Facade Engineering
From Curtain Wall to Facade: SunFrame’s Insights into Facade Engineering Introduction | Why We Focus on Facade, Not Just Curtain Wall The curtain wall has been an important technological system in modern architecture since the mid-19th century. With the continuous advancement of materials, construction techniques, and computational tools, curtain walls have evolved from simple enclosures […]
The Restraint Behind a Perforated Aluminum Façade
The Restraint Behind a Perforated Aluminum Façade One day, while passing by a school, I found myself paying attention to its exterior. Along the corridors on the second floor and above, both in teaching buildings or dormitories, the façades were wrapped in large areas of perforated aluminum panels. The perforations formed fluid, dynamic patterns, almost […]
Fit and Resilience: The Design Logic of Facade Systems in Australia
Fit and Resilience: The Design Logic of Facade Systems in Australia Architecture in Australia Begins with Environmental Considerations When designing buildings in Australia, many decisions are driven less by aesthetics and more by environmental realities. Wind loads, prolonged sun exposure, temperature fluctuations, and the persistent risk of bushfires in certain regions often shape the building’s […]
Rooftop Multi-Level Void Curtain Wall Construction
Rooftop Multi-Level Void Curtain Wall Construction — Sunframe’s Systematic Solutions for Complex High-Altitude Conditions As supertall buildings reach unprecedented heights and embrace increasingly complex spatial forms, rooftop multi-level voids have become a notable characteristic of modern architectural design. These spaces not only fulfill requirements for ventilation, equipment layout, and architectural expression but also create formidable challenges for […]
Rooftop Multi-Level Void Curtain Wall Design in Supertall Buildings
Rooftop Multi-Level Void Curtain Wall Design in Supertall Buildings — A Practical Design Perspective from Sunframe As supertall buildings continue to reach new heights and adopt increasingly complex spatial forms, rooftop multi-level voids have become essential elements of modern façade design. While these spaces add value to the building, they introduce design and construction challenges […]
Aluminum Panel Curtain Wall Construction | Technical Execution Guide
Aluminum Panel Curtain Wall Construction — Key Technical Points for Reliable On-Site Execution In real-world curtain wall projects, the facade functions as a secondary envelope. Although it is separated from the primary structure, it remains closely tied to its movement and performance. Aluminum panel curtain walls are widely used in this context because they offer […]
Photovoltaic Glass Applications in Building Systems Across Regions
Photovoltaic Glass Applications in Building Systems Across Regions —From Southeast Asia to the Middle East Photovoltaic technology is shifting from external power equipment to an integral part of the building envelope. Photovoltaic glass, particularly Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), sits at the intersection of energy performance, architectural integration, and sustainability objectives. Differences in policy direction, climate conditions, power […]
