Please describe the project specifications

We were invited to design and manufacture a tent for a circus in Brazil. This company is relatively new, although its founders come from a traditional circus family in this South American country.

During the construction process we were asked to make an important change where the model and the original area that were already selected by the client grew. With this, we had the opportunity to design a project that helped and was much more adapted to the needs of the client; where we designed the main tent by sticking on the lobby tent and the backstage tent, separating it only by large curtains with special doors, in addition to putting 3 medium tents at the main entrance for multiple uses.


What is unique or complex about the project?

Each project has its own life, its own challenge and it is our passion as designers and builders to do this. Although we manufacture circus tents all the time, each one, however small or large it may be, always meets a challenge.

With this project, with the changes requested, we got that the client had something that would help them and better adapt to what they were looking for. We designed some perimeter flaps around the tents (main tent, lobby tent and backstage tent) so that some air conditioners would have adequate spaces, in addition to getting a project with a lot of rhythm, in its size, shapes, colors and design in general.

Our client tells us that they have been amazingly with all the shows solded-out; where their tents are accomplishing with the visual capture of the public, and also commenting that the Brazilian press dedicated to covering shows there, says that it is the most spectacular circus equipment in all Brazil.
