Bespoke façades. No extra complexity. ✨

With GCCollection™, curated patterns make it easy to design expressive, customised façades—using contrast, colour, scale, and repetition to create something truly unique.

Even better?
✅ No added cost vs. custom patterns (repetitive pattern)
✅ Endless creative variations
✅ Seamless integration with other materials

See how standard precast panels become façades that tell stories.

Our exposed paper can be used in multiple ways—by combining it with patterned paper and extending the exposed surface. 💫

Niittykumpu Daycare & Residential Building is a great example of how exposed paper can be applied wisely to achieve the same high-quality concrete surface with beautifully revealed aggregates. The paper attachments on the concrete surface are almost invisible unless pointed out—demonstrating both precision and craftsmanship.

And as a delightful finishing touch, don’t miss the adorable animal features! 🐸 🐻 🦔

At Albert Edelfelt School in Porvoo, art is integrated into the architecture and everyday environment of the building. The facades feature four artworks by Albert Edelfelt executed in Graphic Concrete.

The school was completed in 2008, and it is always interesting to revisit projects years later. The surface lives with light, weather and the seasons, but the images remain clearly visible as part of the concrete surface itself.

—————————————-

Porvoossa sijaitsevassa Albert Edelfeltin koulussa taide on osa rakennuksen arkkitehtuuria ja arkea. Julkisivuissa on neljä Albert Edelfeltin teosta toteutettuna graafisella betonilla.

Koulu on valmistunut vuonna 2008, ja on aina kiinnostavaa palata kohteisiin vuosien jälkeen. Pinta elää valon, sään ja vuodenaikojen mukana, m***a kuvat ovat edelleen selkeitä ja osa rakennuksen ilmettä – osana itse betonipintaa.
