Curtain Wall Design (Facade Engineering)

Project Overview: This project involved the structural design and engineering analysis of a curtain wall façade system for a commercial building. The goal was to ensure the façade’s structural integrity, safety, and aesthetic performance while maintaining lightweight efficiency and resistance to environmental loads such as wind and seismic forces. Scope of Services: Madhouse Engineering Consultancy provided a comprehensive structural design package for the curtain wall system, including: Structural analysis and design of aluminum framing, glass panels, and support anchorage systems. Wind load and seismic load assessment in accordance with local building codes and façade engineering standards. Connection detailing and support bracket design for secure attachment to the main structural frame. Coordination with architectural and façade teams to ensure seamless integration of design intent and structural requirements. Preparation of detailed shop drawings and technical specifications for fabrication and installation. Design Highlights: Use of finite element analysis (FEA) for accurate load simulation and performance verification. Optimized aluminum profile design to minimize deflection while maintaining slender architectural aesthetics. Integration of thermal breaks and waterproofing details to enhance building envelope performance. Emphasis on cost-efficient and constructible solutions without compromising safety or visual impact. Outcome: The project successfully delivered a high-performance curtain wall design that balances structural strength, material efficiency, and architectural elegance—demonstrating Madhouse Engineering Consultancy’s capability to handle complex façade and structural interface designs for modern buildings.
