The elegant Texlon® ETFE canopies, which cover an area of 4,637 m², highlight and support the design and function of the Embassy Manyata Business Park office building. The Business Park is located in North Bengaluru, India. The first phase of this project is already complete. The canopies connect two buildings, NXT Office No1 (building no. 46) and NXT Office No 2 (49). A second phase is under construction and connects the Convention Center, Hilton Hotel, and Hilton Garden Inn. The use of ETFE helps to promote a comfortable and pleasant environment.
Canopies Protect from the Elements
Texlon® ETFE technology enables new design and engineering approaches. Any water ponding issues were solved by our engineering team. 46 Texlon® ETFE cushions with a dot matrix printed upper foil layer protect those underneath. The ETFE canopy system has been designed to maintain a naturally lit environment, but it also accommodates the solar control. Moreover, ETFE foils are traditionally printed with silver pigments because silver reflects the solar radiation better than other colors.
After installing the structure, mounting the aluminum extrusion system and placing gaskets, we slid in the Texlon® ETFE panels. At the end of an extensive process, which included, the design, fabrication, supply and installation, you finally see these very elegant canopies. It was a pleasure working with the architect Andy Fisher Workshop Pte Ltd creating these beautiful canopies. Our team successfully overcame local constraints with the architectural steelwork fabrication and installation.
