The unique design possibilities of the shingled family of panels makes it easy to design curving facades that take advantage of the individually tilted and layered panels to absorb variations and enhance the architectural experience of depth and texture. This is beautifully showcased in the exciting façade of Red River College Polytechnic’s Manitou a bi Bii dazigae in Winnipeg, Canada.

The tailor-made panels are up to 1400 x 2400 mm, and combined in sections that are up to 4000 mm tall. Concealed, angled suspension systems allow for tool-free mounting, fire protection and optimal ventilation. The tempered glass of the facade panels are satinated and nano-coated in order to achieve the desired materiality. The building changes colour depending on the viewing angle and weather conditions.
