Unitised façades
A unitised façade is built in the factory, not at height: profiles are CNC-machined, and each unit is assembled, glazed and checked in the Rzhev plant. The units reach the site in the order they are installed.
What we build
- Units with louvres and fachwerk mullions
- Corner units
- Structural glazing in the unit
- Printed glass units
- Spider glazing within the façade
- High-rise — up to 311 m (Abu Dhabi Plaza)
Scope
- 01 3D model, structural and wind-load calculations — our own design office
- 02 Shop and installation drawings, material specifications
- 03 CNC profile machining and assembly at the Rzhev plant
- 04 Delivery in installation order, coordinated with the site
- 05 Installation under technical supervision
- 06 As-built documentation and warranty hand-over
Look inside a module
Explore the unitized façade of SberCity A27. Look closely at each part, from the glass edge to the slab connection.

The model follows ADEN’s typical design solution for SberCity A27. Each project is engineered individually.
What to send for a quote
A façade or roof is priced from the design, not from a list price per m². The fuller the inputs, the closer the first estimate.
- Architectural drawings: elevations, sections, plans, details — PDF or DWG
- A bill of quantities or areas by construction type, if available
- Specified systems and manufacturers, if already chosen
- Scope: design, supply, installation — or all of it
- Site address, number of storeys and the construction schedule
Questions
How does a unitised façade differ from a stick system?
A stick curtain wall is assembled on site from separate mullions, transoms and glass units. A unitised façade arrives as finished, glazed storey-high elements that are hung on brackets. More of the work moves into the factory, less of it happens at height.
Where have you built unitised façades?
SberCity in Moscow (the A23 corner unitised façade; units with louvres for A27, A32 and A33), building 5.2 of the Minsk-Mir IFC from the 2nd to the 27th floor, and the Abu Dhabi Plaza towers in Astana — 127,000 m² of unitised façades and spider glazing.
What drives the price?
The system and profile manufacturer, the type and size of glass units or cassettes, the geometry (curved glass, double curvature), the area and how repetitive the elements are, the scope (supply only or with installation), the schedule and the logistics to site.
Do you do the design yourselves?
Yes. Our design office builds the 3D model, runs the structural and wind-load calculations and issues shop and installation drawings from the client’s architectural design.
Where is the plant?
Our own plant in the Rzhev district, Tver region (Esinka). Profiles are cut and CNC-machined there, and units are assembled and shipped in installation order.
