Info: Modular car cover
The parking area of the American Embassy in Nigeria is covered by eight tensile structures of various shapes and sizes. Maco Technology designed the structures and supplied the carpentry components as well as the entire textile membrane, including the tensioning systems. The covers, designed to be modular, are composed of two types of “tree” pillars which, positioned 180 degrees apart from each other, allow for the creation of a high and low point covering, ideal support for a tensile structure.
