The Menlyn Park Shopping Centre roof was designed to complement the large open space of the atrium in the mall. The interior decorating on the top floor of the mall included large billboards displaying adverts for their retailers. The fabric structure roof worked well with the large interior decorating features and the height of the fabric roof created a large airy space underneath. The PTFE fabric let in the sunlight during the day, creating an outdoor feel to the atrium, and a spectacle at night as the structure is lit up from inside.
