The façades are glazed to allow users to work under a natural light. On the street side and part of the courtyard side, the building hides behind a wooden double-façade, light and changing, yet affirming its autonomy, allows to keep the contrast with the wood frame building to a minimum. --

Can Font Cultural Center, Les Franqueses del Vallès, Barcelona, Spain, 2007 designed by taller 9s arquitectes
The project on the facades tries to combine a contemporary intervention
with the respect to the traditional image. And this double challenge was
translated into a double skin. The historical skin remains as it was
and the south facade was rehabilitated integrally. The second skin, a
grid of wood slabs, was overlapped over the former volume, without
modifying it, and appears as an added intervention, hiding the new
windows and controlling the entrance of light. These new ‘holes’ keep
the proportion of the existing ones. --

US Census Bureau Headquarters, Suitland, Maryland, USA, 2007 designed by SOM
The curved office buildings have two enclosures. The outside edges that face the woods are covered in a brise soleil of laminated, wooden pieces that create dappled patterns of shadow and warm light inside the offices, suggesting a forest interior. Their size and frequency is determined by the scale of the human body; occupants can view the exterior clearly while being shielded from the sun. The FSC-certified
wood – marine-grade, white oak – is harvested according to sustainable guidelines. Underlying this “wood veil” is a system of green tinted precast spandrels and glazed vision panels that match the cast of the landscape. --

NOI Hotel, Vitacura, Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile, 2009 designed by Jorge Figueroa + Asociados
Like a continues and uniform screen, the wood lattices of Oregon pine constitute the facade and covers the main windows of the bedrooms. This lattice with a format of 0.95 x 2.90 meters provides two qualities to the building: First, windows modules from the floor to the ceiling with a format of 0.95 x 2.60 meters, making possible the entrance of more natural light to the rooms and a controlled view from the exterior to the interior thanks to the wood lattice. Second, filter on a controlled way the light, personalizing the spaces and making the guests feel the presence of a noble material as wood. -- ArchDaily

Private House, Uster, Switzerland, 2009 designed by Gramazio & Kohler
This dwelling, which reinterprets the typology of the surrounding gable-roof houses, gains its marked design by adapting form to context parametrically. 315 vertical wooden slats, affixed to the surface of the wall, completely envelope the facades. By milling the edges, the cross sections of the slats were modulated in correspondence with the window strip so that requirements of sight and sun protection were fulfilled, and various, flowing levels of transparency could be set. -- ArchDaily

Sonoma Residence, Geyserville, California, USA, 2010 designed by Cooper Joseph Studio
The balcony is the iconic form that redefines the image and focus of the house. Ipe is used as a screen and framing device. This material brings warmth to the cool California light, creating a more intimate setting and focusing views on the surrounding landscape. Ipe was chosen specifically for its strength and ability to span the entire depth of the porch without intermediate support. It will weather naturally over time, resulting in a more artistic patina against the dark background. -- ArchDaily

Cluny House, Singapore, 2011 designed by Neri & Hu Design and Reserch Office
The layering and overlapping of materiality in the house is a key strategy in reinforcing the notion of continuity, from the uninterrupted vals quartzite ground plane with glass enclosed public areas to the wood-clad private spaces above. The ebonized teak louvers enveloping the bedrooms on the second level are all operable to allow individual inhabitants of each of the thirteen bedrooms to adjust the degree of their connection to the outside, both climatically and visually. -- ArchDaily

LiYuan Library, Beijing, China, 2011 designed by Li Xiaodong Atelier
The building blends into the landscape through the delicate choice of materials and the careful placement of the building volume. Especially the choice of material is crucial in blending with the regional characteristics. After analyzing the local material characteristics in the village we found large amounts of locally sourced wooden sticks piled around each house. The villagers gather these sticks all year round to fuel their cooking stoves. Thus we decided to use this ordinary material in an extraordinary way, cladding the building in familiar textures in a way that is strikingly sensitive. -- ArchDaily

The entrance courtyard located on the main facade is an outdoor shade structure through which the prevailing east-west winds transport fresh air to the adjoining courtyard, cooling the atmosphere by generating a stream of air. In turn, west courtyard facade has a second skin separated from the glass facade, avoiding direct solar incidence and allowing air exchange. -- ArchDaily

Y Project, Ya’el, Nazareth Illit, Israel, 2012 designed by Rami Kopty
Rooms Floor is a conceptual wooden box wrapped in profiles made of rice husk (wood). The facade has two main roles: the first is – giving the facade of the architectural aspect. While the second, the green aspect and environmental – energy conservation (green architecture). The material selection process was toward a green material and recyclable natural materials, requiring minimal care for future treatment of dyeing or other, the material is relatively light weight and of course looks good. The house envelope serves an important role in area climates – (Mediterranean), and has a dual role – the core space get less heated in summer, so the sun does not directly warm these walls by being cooled by the air gap betwean the wood and the interior walls by natural ventilation. And in winter the facade can be opened and lets the sun’s rays get in and heat the interior. -- ArchDaily

....a chequered wood design, a kind of
brise soleil called
muxarabie, which is a
classic feature in Eastern architecture. It was later assimilated by
the Portuguese, who brought it to Brazil. This element, with its
powerful aesthetic appeal, was adapted to this residence in the South of
the country, and acts as a wooden ‘curtain’, allowing air flow, dimming
light and also serving as a security feature. --

Komachi Building, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, 2013 designed by Key Operation
A lattice spacing that satisfied the opening requirement for exterior
stairs would be too broad for commanding a uniform façade across a large
surface. As a solution, the density of the lattice was gradually
increased from the front of the staircase across the façade to express
unity and variance. Wood was selected as the material for the lattice to impart warmth, and
coated with traditional Japanese red-ochre paint, a natural material
used for a long time as a preservative. --

Block 32, La Duchère, Lyon, France, 2014 designed by Tectoniques Architects
The facades are composed of a wooden frame. The wood was chosen first and foremost for its qualities as a material,
but also for the way it could be used in the prefabrication of the
components that make up the facade. The curtain facade is composed of alternating sections of pre-weathered
timber cladding boards and wide glazed strips. They form overlapping,
offset pieces which interconnect like large scales. This gives the
covering a textile-like appearance, lighter and less constructed than
the housing block. --

Aspen Art Museum, Aspen, Colorado, USA, 2014 designed by Shigeru Ban Architects
From the exterior, the museum’s main feature is the basket-weave cladding that covers its two street-facing facades. The slats, “woven” together on-site, are made from a paper-and-resin composite sandwiched between two thin layers of brown okoume wood protected with a UV coating. The density of the weave changes from top to bottom and as it moves away from the corner of the building. Practically, the screen provides shade from the intense Colorado sunlight. Aesthetically, it helps give the museum a craftsy, homemade quality, despite its bulky presence. --
