FLOA
Where Architecture Flows Beyond Glass
Contemporary architecture is defined by openness, natural light and an uninterrupted connection between interior and landscape. Yet achieving this vision often requires compromises—bulkier frames, visible thresholds, complex automation or reduced energy performance.
FLOA was created to eliminate those compromises.
Developed in Latvia in collaboration with Archideco and engineered for the next generation of residential and architectural projects, FLOA is the region's first Passivhaus-certified wood-aluminium lift-and-slide system. Combining elegant minimalism with advanced engineering, it enables expansive glazing, exceptional thermal performance and effortless operation without relying on motors or complex electronics.
Whether designing a private residence, a multi-unit development or a premium hospitality project, FLOA allows architecture—not technical limitations—to define the space.
FOR ARCHITECTS
Preserve the purity of your architectural vision
Large-format glazing has become fundamental to contemporary architecture. Clients expect panoramic views, seamless transitions and abundant natural light, while regulations demand increasingly higher energy performance.
Traditional sliding systems often force architects into compromise. Larger profiles alter façade proportions, thresholds interrupt floor continuity and automation introduces unnecessary technical complexity.
FLOA gives architects greater design freedom without sacrificing performance.
WHY ARCHITECTS SPECIFY FLOA
Designed for architecture
- Slim, symmetrical profiles that preserve clean façade lines.
- Up to 12 metres of uninterrupted opening with smooth manual operation.
- Fully integrated flush threshold for continuous floor surfaces.
- Large-format glazing that maximises daylight and strengthens the relationship between architecture and landscape.
- Passivhaus-certified thermal performance with Uw values down to 0.65 W/m²K.
- Pure mechanical operation without motors, sensors or electrical dependency.
FLOA allows the architecture to remain the focal point. Technical performance, sustainability and aesthetics work together, enabling projects that feel lighter, brighter and visually uncompromised.
Extend the interior beyond the walls
Today's outdoor spaces are no longer designed as separate environments. Terraces, gardens and pool areas have become natural extensions of living rooms, kitchens and dining spaces.
Creating that continuity requires far more than selecting outdoor furniture.
Materials, glazing, finishes, outdoor kitchens, shading systems, fireplaces and landscaping all need to work together as one coherent architectural language.
WHY ARCHIDECO
Procurement Partner for design professionals
Archideco simplifies this process by acting as a single procurement partner throughout the project.
Instead of coordinating multiple manufacturers, design studios receive one expert partner able to support every stage of specification.
PROCUREMENT PARTNER
Archideco helps to:
- Select outdoor solutions that genuinely continue the architectural concept.
- Coordinate glazing, outdoor furniture, dining, lounge, shade systems, fire features and planters within one design language.
- Choose finishes that seamlessly connect interior and exterior spaces.
- Evaluate durability for UV exposure, moisture, wind and long-term performance.
- Receive specifications, BIM information, finishes, dimensions, pricing and lead times quickly.
- Streamline procurement through one trusted European partner.
This allows design teams to spend more time designing—and less time managing suppliers.
FOR DEVELOPERS & Construction Companies
Premium European engineering with a competitive commercial advantage
Successful projects depend on more than product performance alone.
Developers require reliable partners capable of delivering predictable costs, dependable lead times and technical support throughout the construction process.
FLOA combines certified European engineering with an attractive pricing structure, making it a compelling alternative to comparable premium systems available across other European markets. It delivers exceptional architectural quality while helping optimise overall project budgets.
Why developers choose FLOA
- Competitive European pricing without compromising quality.
- Passivhaus-certified performance for residential and commercial developments.
- Predictable manufacturing and delivery schedules.
- Technical support throughout specification and implementation.
- Assistance with technical documentation and project specifications.
- One Procurement Partner for glazing systems, interior solutions and outdoor collections.
Whether delivering private residences, hospitality projects or multi-unit developments, Archideco simplifies procurement while ensuring every solution aligns with the project's architectural ambitions.
Based on real-world experience
FLOA was developed in collaboration with Archideco and i2—a manufacturer with more than 15 years of experience in high-energy-efficiency window and facade solutions.
i2 solutions are used in schools, libraries, and public buildings in Latvia and Sweden, where requirements for quality, durability, and energy efficiency are particularly high.
FLOA was born out of practice, not theory.
Architect Reinis Liepiņš, architect Iveta Lūse, and U-e Studio’s architect Leonards Kalniņš share their impressions of FLOA, the region’s first Passivhaus-certified next-generation wood-aluminum lift-and-slide system.
