The SKIN cladding represents a perfect balance between innovation and functionality, designed to meet the needs of modern workspaces. At this Toyota’s building in Bologna, ForMe Design’s Battens 50 system was chosen for the façade, demonstrating how aesthetics can seamlessly blend with sustainability. Installed horizontally, Battens 50 not only adds a modern touch to the building but also contributes to optimizing energy efficiency, ensuring bright and welcoming interior spaces.
This cladding system is more than just an attractive design: it offers a dual function as both cladding and sunshade, reducing direct solar radiation and maintaining ideal interior temperatures. The adoption of Battens 50 enables the creation of comfortable and sustainable work environments, minimizing reliance on air conditioning systems — an essential element for the future of responsible architecture.

BATTENS 50
The choice of aluminum for Battens 50 is not only aesthetic but also strategic: this recyclable and durable material highlights Toyota’s commitment to sustainability. Its excellent performance in terms of weather resistance and thermal insulation positions the building as a model of energy efficiency in contemporary architecture.
In summary, this façade clad with Battens 50, stands as an example of both design and sustainability. This project demonstrates how form and function can coexist, offering valuable insights for architects and designers. The adoption of the Battens 50 system represents a step toward conscious architectural design, where every choice contributes to creating functional spaces that align with environmental needs.
