Ensuring people feel comfortable, while enjoying dining and retail activities, sports, arts and culture was the outcome. Vector Foiltec helped create this want for the best of both worlds with a translucent, 2 layer, 3,600 m² Texlon® ETFE canopy.Shadow providing leaves were imitated within the foil cushions by providing four different shades of silver prints arranged in a recurring order. The canopy’s layer’s and print patterns supply high thermal performance while providing high amounts of natural light with anti-glare properties. The canopy mirrors the floor pattern which underlines the shading of leaves. The thin steel trees are seemingly rooted, reaching from the ground up to the ceiling to enhance the aesthetics of the forest concept.Vector Foiltec’s scope of workVector Foiltec’s scope of work included the design, engineering and installation of the Texlon® ETFE system with steelwork, gutter, low level cladding and authority submissions. Vector Foiltec’s engineers managed to change the steelwork from an simple truss to a single tapering structure, which had large savings for the client and made the canopy more open and elegant.
