Experience Unmatched Comfort under Clarke Quay’s ETFE Canopies in Singapore

Nestled in the heart of Singapore’s vibrant Clarke Quay district lies a gem of modern architecture – ETFE canopies that redefine the essence of outdoor comfort. Spanning an impressive 10,099 m², this canopy project stands as a testament to innovation and functionality.

Precision Engineering

Crafted with precision, the canopy comprises 243 double-layered ETFE foil cushions and 124 single-layer foil panels, meticulously designed by our team of experts. The architects Atelier Ten & Meta Formwerks engineered these canopies which boast a perfect blend of form and function.

Revitalizing Aesthetics with Texlon® ETFE

Replacing the existing ETFE material with Texlon® ETFE, the project aimed not only to enhance thermal comfort but also to revitalize the aesthetics of the space. The new Texlon® ETFE foils ensure longevity and resistance against fading by using improved frit coverage and enhanced durability. It ensures a pristine ambiance for years to come.

Sustainable and Efficient Design for New Canopies

Beyond its aesthetic charm, the Clarke Quay canopy prioritizes sustainability and efficiency. By using a combination of printed and transparent ETFE foils, the level of light incidence is minimized while the transmission of natural light is maximized. This results in a welcoming environment for visitors and retailers alike. Moreover, minor repairs to the existing steelwork further reinforce the structure’s integrity, guaranteeing safety and reliability.

Prioritizing Accuracy for Seamless Integration

Accuracy was a high priority in this project. Therefore, a dedicated surveyor was engaged to measure the existing steelwork and ETFE cushions. ‘This ensures seamless integration and optimal performance of the new system.

Whether you seek refuge from the tropical sun or desire an uplifting retreat amidst the bustling cityscape: Clarke Quay’s Texlon® ETFE canopies offer an oasis of comfort and aesthetics.
