The structural design solution included high strength galvanised cable as the bottom chord member to provide a light and visually attractive solution.
Our approach complements the multi-layered polycarbonate roofing systems, enhancing the passive solar energy collected by the building. Waste heat is super condensed and able to be reused in heat delivery to pool water, slab heating and amenities pre-heating.
