В оживленном торговом центре Лагоса (Нигерия) крупная сеть супермаркетов искала решение, которое позволило бы обеспечить как функциональную защиту от солнца, так и придать архитектурную самобытность своему новому флагманскому магазину. Компании Jieol Membrane Structure было поручено разработать и установить индивидуальное решение tensile canopy structure for the supermarket’s main entrance and parking zone. In Nigeria’s tropical climate, where heat and UV exposure are major concerns, the project required more than just aesthetics—it needed to deliver durability, thermal relief, and a smooth customer experience. The resulting tensile structure not only improved visitor comfort and protected goods from direct sun exposure, but also gave the retail space a contemporary, recognizable facade that strengthened its commercial brand identity.
Описание проекта
This tensile structure was designed as a large-span entrance canopy и walkway cover, offering full-shade protection for supermarket visitors. Its clean, white PVC-coated fabric membrane reflects sunlight while withstanding frequent downpours during Nigeria’s rainy season. The canopy also features integrated drainage and ambient lighting for nighttime use, enhancing both form and function.
