A magnificent example of a '5 point hypar' structure providing shade to a busy seaside marina redevelopment. Quality stainless steel componentry and rigging were used to meet the highest durability and aesthetic standards. This striking structure also acts as a focal point and land mark for the local community. The canopy form was chosen to resemble the shape of a graceful flying sea bird soaring high over the water.
