The restaurant has a pavilion-like structure with an unusual roof comprising nine hexagonal peaks linked by seven flat areas.
The Challenge:
Water ingress through the old roof had forced shut down of the café multiple times making it necessary to renew the entire buildup. The beautifully designed trapezoidal featured roof was hugely complex.
The extremely intricate design process involved SIG as system experts alongside Tapered Plus in designing the cut to fall scheme that achieved the correct U-Value for the new roof.
