Terracotta | Clear stone | Raw concrete
Materials that are making a strong comeback. Not as a trend, but as a means of expression.
Because a façade never tells a story through colour alone: it reveals a presence and anchors a structure within its surroundings.
Discover three shades from our palette that offer a timeless reinterpretation of mineral finishes on façades.
TERRACOTTA | MOON | OCEAN

A monochrome, minimalist design by Jean-Pierre Lott, Architect
The College of the Righteous · Town of Saint-Cergues (France)
This secondary school boasts a distinctive, monolithic architectural design:
10,000 m² of flowing curves and elegant, limestone-white façades.
Our COVER cladding in the ‘Moon’ shade complements the architect’s design and brings out its perspectives and volumes.
A project that is both striking and understated, designed to accommodate nearly 750 pupils and teachers.
