Design & Renderings
Challenge - Solution
The restaurant, situated in a forest resort, required a canopy for sun, rain, and falling leaf protection while blending with the natural surroundings. The design features a central double-column cap structure with soft-edge tensile membranes around the perimeter, providing a simple, functional, and aesthetically pleasing solution.
Installation - Support
Our professional installation team managed on-site construction, using cranes for columns and membrane installation. Key challenges included precise column angle control to ensure smooth connection between soft-edge cables and the membrane. Installation was completed in 3 days, delivered on schedule.
