After successfully completing the atrium roofs at the Radisson Hotel, Tension Structures was then set the task of designing a roof for the luxury lifestyle spa built alongside the hotel.

Tension Structures was briefed to design a structure that wouldn’t impede the view of the guests from their rooms above but made a statement that would enhance the appearance of the upmarket venue. The inverted cones met the above criteria as well as providing strong focal points in the space and a light relaxed atmosphere for the spas clientele.

The complex perimeter shape and waterproofing thereof provided design challenges but the end result was another structure that the hotel was very proud to call their own.
