ZHOYUE Architectural Façade Design & Consulting Co., Ltd is known and abbreviated as ZY. , 

whose working spirit is not only being expertise in technology of building skin fundamentally, but using it as a key tool to reach the designing goal with really high-end quality.

The significant difference of ZY from common curtain wall consultant is ZY’s ability to cover more fields tightly tied to building skin, which includes esthetic design for details and segments of building facade, curtain wall structural details design and integration design for long-span structures with affiliated building skin, which is always rationally and prudentially carried along with efficient study from full perspectives as Function, Esthetic, Structure, Integration of multi-disciplines and Budget balancing. ZY’s building skin design development is establishing a related multi-disciplined loop centered with building façade sector following the overall work led by architect design team. We believe only working at this level can provide the projects with real added values which are constructive, active and comprehensive.
