Challenges and solutions
Shade'N'Sails intended for the front office façade to resemble shade sails. This resulted in a difficult stepped roofline design. Our team collaborated closely to create an affordable steel package for the offices that would accommodate the custom façade with numerous box gutters while maintaining clean architectural lines from the street.
