Modernism is not a style—it’s a response.
The perforated screens of Nikos Valsamakis demonstrate how architecture can control light, provide privacy, and improve comfort through passive design. More than 50 years later, these same principles continue to inspire contemporary façade solutions, where ceramic systems create breathable, climate-responsive envelopes that combine performance with architectural expression.

At Lydia Roda Materials, we see projects like this as a reminder that the best innovations often begin with timeless architectural ideas.

At Lydia Roda Architectural Materials, we are proud to supply Flexbrick solutions across Greece and Cyprus, supporting projects that redefine contemporary architecture.

At Sant Pau Hospital in Barcelona, 45,000 ceramic pieces woven into the Flexbrick® system shape the entire building envelope—façades, roofs, pergolas, and ceilings.

The terracotta exterior reflects the site’s historic architecture, while the glazed interior references its iconic Modernist domes. Beyond aesthetics, the system helps regulate solar radiation, creating a dynamic interplay of light, shadow, and performance throughout the day.

A versatile and creative system

The same piece, infinite possibilities. With Flexbrick, architectural design has no limits: facades, panels, pavements or structures.

Join us at the Zak World of Façades in Limassol, Cyprus, where our Project Development Manager, Nikos Kolintzas, will present “Wrapped in Terracotta: The Façade as a Second Skin System.”

The presentation will explore how flexible ceramic façade systems are transforming architectural identity through lightweight, sustainable construction solutions. Attendees will also discover the performance advantages of second-skin façades and their growing impact on contemporary building design.

We look forward to sharing insights, innovation, and the future of façade architecture.

We are excited to announce Lydia Roda’s participation at Zak World of Facades in Limassi on June 11th, where we will showcase Flexbrick and its role in sustainable, innovative façade design.
