SUSTAINABILITY
A CLASS ACT
Faveker’s tailor-made tiled façade brings personality and energy efficiency to the new Muskiz Secondary School, in Vizcaya, Spain.
The new building of Muskiz Secondary School, designed by BAT Architecture studio, has become a leading symbol of sustainable architecture for education centres. Designed in accordance with Passivhaus criteria and built using cross- laminated timber (CLT), the project combines innovation and comfort with environmental care.
In this approach, Faveker’s tailor-designed tiled ventilated façade, based on its GA16 system, plays a key role. This precise, luminous tiled skin boosts the building’s energy efficiency and infuses it with unique architectural personality.
ARCHITECTURE FOR WELLBEING A TAILOR-DESIGNED TILED FAÇADE
The project for Muskiz Secondary School is founded on one clear idea: to create a flexible, efficient building able to adapt to new learning methods. Its architecture revolves around two longitudinal volumes, connected by a central circulation area, presided over by a large open staircase. This layout fosters movement and interaction while also taking advantage of crossed ventilation and the natural light.
With a gross surface area of 4,191m², the building combines natural materials with cutting-edge technology. The CLT timber structure reduces the carbon footprint and ensures thermal and acoustic comfort. In turn, Faveker’s extruded tile façade acts as a visual and technical filter, protecting and regulating the building envelope and lending it a certain rhythm.

The outer skin of the building has been made using Faveker’s GA16 ventilated façade system, although in this case it has been taken one step further. In collaboration with the technical team of BAT Architecture, Faveker developed a special extruded tile adapted to the language of the project: a customised tile model that transforms the façade into a vibrant, tactile surface.
The new GA16 MUSKIZ tile model has all the technical properties of the GA16 system – lightness, resistance, a tongue-and-grooved design to protect the cavity, and a concealed mechanical anchorage system (FTS 502B) – with the addition of a wavy shape that boosts its architectural appeal.
