At the newly constructed business center 'The Wings' in Diegem, Belgium, a distinctive and architecturally compelling entrance was required. The objective was to create a canopy that would offer protection from the weather while also making a visually impactful statement at the entrance. Traditional approaches with standard materials did not meet the high expectations of this project.
Through extensive research and prototype development, it became evident that traditional building materials would not suffice. Therefore, an innovative solution involving technical textiles was selected. We crafted a unique funnel-shaped design with this material, serving both as a protective canopy and an impressive entrance feature for the office building. This design, featuring both upper and lower layers, creates a seamless and dynamic appearance that complements the building’s architectural style. The result is a visually stunning feature that offers both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality.
The 'The Wings' project has surpassed all expectations, showcasing how technical textiles and innovative design can merge into a functional work of art. 'The Wings' stands as not only a practical canopy but also a bold statement piece, embodying the innovative and forward-thinking ambiance of the building.
"This project highlights our expertise in merging functionality with aesthetic design and showcases our commitment to providing exceptional and tailored solutions for every client request."
