Tailor Made surfaces are unique bespoke products created for specific projects. The WOOD—SKIN design team is able to discretize any complex geometric input with single or double curvature and transform it into a series of flat elements easily produced and installed.
This classic WOOD-SKIN pattern consists of a series of millings usually running longitudinally across the surface, despite the simplicity of the geometrical compositions it can be designed and shaped in an unlimited variety of forms. The phase between millings can be customised to create different rhythms and perspectives. Fluid and gently shaped surfaces are easy to design and install with this bespoke panelling system.
This unique typology of Tailor-Made surfaces makes it possible to create stunning double curvature surfaces. Its magic lies in its creation and design. Double curvature surfaces are thought to be too complex to build due to the bending of the surface happening in different directions (like domes or spheres). W-S's patented technology and manufacturing process help to make these complex geometries a reality in just a few steps. Smoothly waved shapes that play in contrast with the straight planes of buildings, creating defining architectural elements that will be remembered, lived and explored.
A module that in the repetition of itself changes gradually, in small steps until it creates an apparently 'constant' surface. Literally, it is a metamorphosis, hence a functional and/or structural modification made possible thanks to the WOOD-SKIN’s patented process and the wonders of our team of computational designers. Surfaces of Morph-type design are able to create aesthetically continuity that can adapt to the changes in shape and function of the architecture that hosts them.
Textiles allow us to create soft 3D shapes that would be impossible to achieve with rigid materials. WOOD-SKIN’s Cloth-type panels open the doors to an entirely new category of architectural surfaces, free-form and textile-alike aesthetics that were simply believed to be possible to achieve are now in every designer's toolbox. A truly random membrane that will never repeat itself. This unique characteristic inspired projects such as the ceiling of the IX hall of the United Nation in Geneva or Maison Margiela boutiques in Milan.
With inspirations coming from the mineral world, the Geode-Type Tailor-Made panelling system allows the creation of crystal-like shapes that you can only find in nature. What nature generates in thousands of years we design computationally and digitally fabricate with the WOOD-SKIN® process in just a few weeks lead-time. Advanced parametric design workflows allow us to streamline the design process and effectively work as an extension of the firm's design team. Achieving unexpected results that would normally be considered too expensive and technically impossible to achieve.
GENERAL APPLICATIONS DRAWINGS
For many architects, designers and engineers 3D, 2D and CAD modelling is an essential tool for visualising design for upcoming projects.
