The overall design of the facility incorporates sharp differences within the same building envelope.
Located in an extremely heavy snow area, the slippery non-stick Kynar surface ensures that the snow will continuously slide off the roof of the structure.
At night, Shelter-Rite's dual membranes' translucency adds impact to the structure, which actually glows attractively like a lampshade.
In addition to helping hold down the actual cost of constructing the building, the white translucent fabric provides major energy savings.
This design provides for an attractive integration between the membrane and the other materials, including steel work, glass blocks and precast walls.
