Internal & External Bespoke Solutions

ShapeShift Technologies offers comprehensive solutions for both internal and external architectural applications through their advanced ShapeShell™ fiber-reinforced materials. These materials are engineered to provide exceptional structural integrity, durability, and design flexibility.

Key features

Lightweight Strength and Durability

ShapeShell™ materials, including RC, RT, and RG, provide unparalleled strength while being significantly lighter than traditional materials like concrete or gypsum. This reduces structural load and simplifies installation, making them ideal for both applications.

Design Versatility and Precision

ShapeShell™ substrates allow for highly customised and intricate designs, from sculptural façades to decorative interior panels. Advanced CNC manufacturing ensures precision and the ability to realise complex architectural visions for roofs, façades, acoustic panels, and more.

Weather and Fire Resistance

ShapeShell™-RT and RC are designed to withstand harsh external conditions, including UV exposure, rain, and wind, ensuring long-lasting performance. ShapeShell™-RG and RC offer high fire resistance, meeting stringent safety standards for interiors and partially exposed areas.

Sustainability and Longevity

All ShapeShell™ substrates use low embodied energy materials, reducing environmental impact compared to traditional building solutions. With a lifespan of up to 50 years, ShapeShell™ products minimise maintenance costs and contribute to sustainable building practices.

Application & Usability

External Applications

Façades and Cladding: ShapeShell™-RC (Reinforced Concrete) panels are designed for durable and fire-safe external façades, combining advanced fibers in a cementitious matrix. These panels are 50% stiffer than standard GFRC and 100% lighter than precast concrete panels, making them ideal for modern architectural designs.

Roof Structures: The lightweight and reinforced properties of ShapeShell™ materials make them suitable for complex roof designs, including domes and canopies, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and structural performance.

Internal Applications

Internal Wall Cladding: ShapeShell™-RG (Reinforced Gypsum) offers next-generation solutions for internal wall cladding. Utilizing advanced fibers in a gypsum matrix, these panels provide flexural strength equivalent to GFRC while being 30% lighter, facilitating easier installation and handling.

Feature Walls and Panels: The versatility of ShapeShell™ materials allows for the creation of custom-designed interior feature wall panels that combine aesthetic appeal with functional performance, enhancing the interior spaces of buildings.

ShapeShift excels in custom architectural components. Their technologies and expertise enable the creation of fully bespoke solutions for unique design challenges, pushing the boundaries of traditional construction while ensuring sustainability and durability.
