Movement with a purpose
A kinetic elevation should read clearly when its elements are still as well as when they move. Panel scale, spacing and the relationship to light determine the overall rhythm.
Kinetic Facade Systems
About Kinetic Facade Systems
A kinetic facade system uses moving metal panels to introduce changing shade, rhythm and depth to a building envelope. The movement approach, detailing and site requirements are developed around the architectural concept, building form and intended use.
Every facade is shaped around its elevation, context and intended experience. Our team can help translate the design direction into a considered system, finish and execution approach.
- Design focus
- Proportion, depth and facade expression
- Project fit
- Residential, hospitality and commercial architecture

System guide
Planning Kinetic Facade
Engineering considerations
Support, pivots, clearances, wind exposure, drainage and access for inspection need project-specific coordination. These details are resolved before fabrication rather than treated as surface additions.
Appropriate applications
Kinetic systems can focus attention on an entrance, screen a selected opening or form a larger feature elevation where movement supports the architectural brief.
For a project-specific recommendation, share the elevation, location, intended finish and approximate facade area with Absteras.

Product FAQs
Kinetic Facade questions, answered.
What is Kinetic Facade Systems?
A kinetic facade system introduces movement through articulated elements. The intended motion, building context, access for care and visible architectural effect are considered together.
Where can Kinetic Facade Systems be used?
A kinetic facade system uses moving metal panels to introduce changing shade, rhythm and depth to a building envelope. The movement approach, detailing and site requirements are developed around the architectural concept, building form and intended use.
Can Kinetic Facade be tailored to my building?
Yes. The elevation, design intent, dimensions, finish direction and site conditions inform the proposed system.
How do I request a Kinetic Facade quotation?
Use the enquiry form or WhatsApp with your project information. A quotation is prepared against the confirmed design scope, materials and site requirements.
