GRC facade projects can be seen all around the globe. This post will be updated on regular basis to list buildings with GRC facades. It may look like a small database with GRC projects. Of course we don’t participate in all of these projects, just some of them.

Nevertheless, I think it is worth to  keep track of GRC facade installations worldwide.

Do you know about a GRC facade project which is not listed here? Let me know via comment below and provide URL address for reference.

Monash University – 3d GRC facade rufurbishment

Monash-University-GRC-Facade-Derek-Swalwell

Clayton campus was built in 1950’s 1960’s. The facade of the eight-storey science South Building & Medical School extension part was refurbished in 2018.

Kosloff Architecture designed lighweight GRC panels which cover the original brick facade. New building skin improved the building energy performance. Refurbished facade allows for better shading of windows and helps to retain thermal mass.

This project is an excellent example of versatile potential of GRC as facade material.

You can see more photographs of this stunning GRC facade at Derek Swallwell’s website.

This facade blends with Cambridge colour pallete.
