KMEW solutions for architects
Design, documentation, samples and technical support to integrate KMEW from the concept phase to project specification.
Japan Facades Iberica works with architecture studios in Spain on series and finish selection, technical documentation, modulation and preliminary material calculation.
A facade with depth, texture and scale
The relief is part of the panel itself and casts real shadows.

Samples for the studio
Relief, texture and colour are best judged on a physical sample. We can send the shortlisted references to the studio to compare them against the other materials in the project.
- Physical samples of the selected finishes
- Comparison of colours, reliefs and textures
- Delivery to the studio address
