Please describe the project specifications

The request for the project was to protect his terrace from the sun in the afternoon in his west facade because the glass on the facade and to reduce the solar heat inside the office, for this we design a roof with a combination of mesh and translucent fabric to fulfill the client needs and create a nice shape with crest and valleys that gives a nice scale to the terrace.


What is unique or complex about the project?

the combination of materials makes us belive that this project is one of a kind that fulfill the client needs and helps to reduce the solar gain on the interior of the building, the structures is supported just on the edge giving to the project a nice lightweight roof.
