ETFE air filled pillows were the ideal solution for a lightweight roof on this outdoor retail center. The geometric surface to support the cladding was created using architectural steel trusses braced with tension elements. A high density print on the ETFE facilitates good daytime thermal performance and reflects to brighten the space when lit at night.
