Kinetic Facade System
A modular facade system integrating structure, actuation, and control logic into a single responsive envelope.
Movement, when it serves performance.
What is a Kinetic Facade System?
A kinetic facade system is an architectural envelope designed to move in response to environmental conditions, user interaction, or design intent.
Unlike static facades, a kinetic system introduces controlled motion—allowing the building to adapt, perform, and express itself dynamically.At Dexxta, we define a kinetic facade as a complete system—where structure, mechanics, controls, and maintenance are engineered together to ensure reliable, long-term performance.
Movement is not added for effect; it is designed with purpose.
-
Responsive rather than static
-
Engineered as an integrated system
-
Designed for real-world wind, dust, and heat
-
Built for reliability and serviceability
Modular Kinetic Assembly
Facade System That
Responds to Invisible Forces
Rather than remaining static, a kinetic facade system reacts—to wind, light, and environmental change—through controlled movement.
System Components
This is not a moving screen.
It is an engineered system composed of interdependent parts.
Primary Structural Frame
The primary frame forms the load-bearing backbone of the kinetic facade system.
It is designed to support dynamic movement while maintaining stability under wind, dead load, and long-term environmental exposure.
Geometry and material selection are optimized for accuracy, rigidity, and durability across the facade span.
CONNECTION & FIXING HARDWARE
Connection hardware ensures accurate alignment, secure fixing, and long-term serviceability of the system.
Each joint is designed to accommodate movement, tolerance, and maintenance access.
Fasteners and brackets are selected to perform reliably under repeated motion and exposure.
SUSPENSION & SUPPORT ELEMENTS
Suspension elements transfer load from the facade modules to the primary structure.
Cables, rods, and support members are engineered for controlled movement while maintaining alignment and tension.
These elements enable flexibility without compromising safety or precision.
FACADE MODULES
Facade modules form the visible and responsive layer of the system.
Each module is designed as a repeatable unit, allowing controlled movement while maintaining consistent visual alignment.
Surface finish, weight, and attachment details are engineered as part of the overall system.
Each component is engineered as part of a coordinated physical system, designed for precision, durability, and long-term performance.
