Liseo Boneriano curved canopy
Allowing children to engage in sports at all times, regardless of intense sun and high temperatures. The Liseo Boneriano school community was in need of a solution. Our curved canopy proved to be the perfect way to make this possible.
On Bonaire, the Liseo Boneriano school community sought a solution to better utilize their playing field, often left underused due to intense sun and high temperatures. Their aim was to install a protective canopy to encourage children to play sports outdoors, regardless of extreme weather.
In response to this need, our team designed and installed a curved canopy over a 16 by 24-meter playing field, using 430 m² of technical textile. This material is especially suited for the tough conditions of the Caribbean islands, thanks to its durable and UV-protective coating that minimizes discoloration and simplifies maintenance. The canopy’s modular design made it easy to transport from the Netherlands to Bonaire. Additionally, the structure is galvanized to withstand the area's weather conditions.
The new canopy has had a significant impact on the daily activities at Liseo Boneriano's playing field. The shade and protection it provides allow students to be active outdoors even during the hottest hours of the day, increasing sports participation and contributing to their health and well-being.
This project showcases our expertise in delivering customized, sustainable solutions for challenging climates. The successful implementation of the curved canopy illustrates our ability to meet specific climate requirements and client needs, while enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of environments. It highlights our commitment to improving school living and learning conditions, even in the most demanding environments.
Full in-house capabilities from start to finish
Our designer creates an initial sketch and provides an artistic rendering to deliver a clear visual solution for a realistic image. We also provide a cost estimate.
If you're pleased with the sketch and budget, we'll move on to the preliminary design phase, complete with final calculations, including design specifications, costs, and structural requirements.
Before we proceed with production, we finalize the construction details in a binding timetable.
Our next step is to execute the production and installation plan. Materials will be packed and delivered to the site, where our VCA-certified technicians will manage the installation.
Once the installation is complete, a handover with the project leader will take place, during which everything will be thoroughly checked. We also provide maintenance and service, customized to the project and in agreement with the client.
