No space without surfaces. No interior without exterior. A facade is the defining element of every building. The first and the lasting impression.
Natural. Durable. Hand-formed. Fiber cement is weatherproof, durable and stable. This makes it the perfect material for outdoor planters and design objects.
Interior space is living space. Our facade panels are also used in interior design. The design requirements include aesthetic aspects, resistance and special tactile properties.
The roof is the crowning glory of a building. In addition to aesthetic requirements, it must be economically sustainable and offer maximum safety.
The annual publication of the Swisspearl Architecture Magazine is our way of presenting trendsetting buildings with fibre cement, and to document how the material is used properly to a professional audience. The magazine is full of exciting reports and articles about architecture, design, and their protagonists.

The natural materials used and constant innovation have made this 100-year-old material very sought-after and indispensable in today’s architecture. Our fibre cement is characterized by timeless materiality, extraordinary durability, and quality. We also place great importance on the regional sourcing of our raw materials from the Swiss Alpine region.
That is what makes Swisspearl fibre cement a sustainable material for designers.
