Please describe the project specifications

The main purpose of the project was cover a public area from the sunlight , the client request the less anchor points in the terrace area , and anchor the fabric mainly in the building .
Obviously all this requests without leaving behind a beautiful design for the front of the building .

What is unique or complex about the project?

This project in particular it´s special to us, because we had to interact with many areas , like the engineering department of the building, our engineering department , and our team of designers , because the building itself had a constructive system based on metallic structure and precast concrete modules, so for us to anchor there we had to do polls on the facade to find the metallic elements corrects for fabric anchoring.
Once we find the right points , we had to manufacture steel extensions that they extend to the facade and there have our anchor plate. At the end , we had to do this step 14 times , so we can get the final result .
