Canopies

Single-layer structure | IGU glazing | Columnless, cantilevered | Nodes with LED lighting

Size: 152 sq.m.

Entrances are the first glance that welcomes you into buildings. An entrance can be a statement.

In Marina Lusail Twin Towers, two identical HEXANOM canopies welcome visitors, defining the building’s architectural footprint.

Both are large cantilevers of 152 sqm. fluid shape, consisted of 522 unique members, 164 unique nodes and 308 unique panels, having no columns. IGU glazing and LED lighting in the structure’s nodes are elements of this single-layer HEXANOM structure which seems so free, like hanging in the air.

Dare to be different and structurally deliver your vision.

All Case Studies
Today, architects worldwide are re-approaching the use of free-form shapes. Fluid Structures are inspired by nature. This trend stems from a desire to give the world more structures inspired by natural shapes and have less to do with functional forms.
These structures would not have come true if architects had not dared to think beyond linear shapes.
Aesthetic needs are easily met using state-of-the-art HEXANOM engineering design applications.
