Lightness and performance in building materials is explored through the use of fabric as a facade material, employed here as a double insulated layer, and supported by an elegant light weight arched steel frame. It generates a building module that can be extended in two directions, depending on site requirements, and is a development of the out of town retail shed, replacing crinkly tin with fabric. The translucent roof lets in filtered daylight and provides first class accommodation for functions ranging from call centres, warehouses and retail units.
