The Massillon School in Paris has decided to construct a new 3 floor building with exterior staircases. In order to protect the children leaving the classrooms, the design of this building incorporates a metal structure covered with transparent ETFE canvas on the top floor, as a pergola.
TECHNICAL BASE
The metal structure is built with tubular profiles whose joints are bolted on site and lacquered in apple green.
The roof is divided into 3 transparent ETFE membranes reinforced by stainless steel cables positioned in the direction of the slope.
To fix the ETFE membranes, we use a new, very discreet rectangular-section aluminium profile that conceals the membrane tensioning system inside it.
