PROJECT NAME: Trinity Point Tension Membrane Structure 
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project was located in the Central Coast of New South Wales. It is a unique tension membrane structure designed to create a wow factor for a new restaurant. It was not only designed to create a visual impact, but also to provide extensive coverage to maximise the outdoor dining area table space and increase revenue for the restaurant.
We were approached by the client to bring a design vision to life. The initial vision of the client to produce this project had come to a halt, then we were asked to come on board to use our expertise to bring this project to fruition and create a visual impact that would create global publicity for the restaurant.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER 3214 Hamilton Workingman’s Club Canopy
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Hamilton Workingmen's Club was established in 1955, and in the last two decades has experienced significant growth with more than 7000 members, to become one of the Premier Clubs in New Zealand. Infrastructure development is important to both the club and community, and over the years the club has invested in maintaining and elevating their amenities. Fabric Structures was engaged to design, fabricate, and install a new partial enclosure over the green at the Hamilton Workingmen's Club. This project aimed to provide a versatile, weather-resistant space for club members and visitors, enhancing the usability of the green throughout the year.
DESIGN / FABRICATION / INSTALLATION BRIEF
The project involved designing, engineering, and building a fabric structure over a bowling green, incorporating two walls along two sides. The remaining sides were adjacent to the clubhouse and a large concrete boundary wall, providing sufficient shelter and thus eliminating the need for additional walls on these sides. The client required that the wall running alongside the neighboring green be operable, which led to the installation of a custom curtain on this side, while the second wall remained fixed.
