   The Skins Group provides full service façade design specializing in thermal modeling, moisture/condensation analysis, in-depth detailing and more. Studio NYL works closely with contractors, architects and building design teams around the world, and is often sought out by façade consultants and architects needing assistance with challenging systems. While the firm has focused on structural design and the constructability of skin and façade systems since it\'s founding in 2004, its principals wanted to respond to client demand for a higher level of offerings.
