10 offices with striking metal mesh finishes

31 août 2022  •  Spécifications  •  By Surabhi Patil

Metal mesh cladding seeks a wide application in commercial and office architecture because of its versatility and sturdiness. Whatever the typology, it can add dynamism and an industrial aesthetic to any project. 

 

The use of metal mesh cladding has been trending in office spaces to break monotony and rigidity while providing the needed durability and flexibility. It can also be used as a design element to give an elegant, striking appearance.

 

Beyond aesthetics, metal mesh cladding used as façade systems provides protection and a moderate indoor environment. These can either be used as a retrofit to existing, obsolete buildings, revitalizing the structural envelope or can serve as a base for an entirely new design. In office interiors, metal mesh is commonly used as privacy screens, interior walls, railings, and ceilings, giving the office a sophisticated visual appeal with functional advantages. 

 

Adapting to the various applications, the cladding comes in different materials, sizes, shapes and colours, imparting every space a light and airy feel. Following is a selection of ten such offices which display an interesting use of metal mesh cladding.
