PUBLIC SETTING
CLIENT: NORTH SHORE HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
"A practical solution ...good looking, readily achieved"
LOCATION: Secondary school quadrangle/assembly area
SITUATION: 3 shade sails were required for the Healing Garden being built at North Shore Hospital. The shade sails provide shelter from heat and UV light over park benches. This allows patients recovering from illness and operations to enjoy the gardens.
SOLUTION: 3 shade sails, each suspended from 4 poles
Pairs of poles are diagonally offset to create a twist or 3D effect for those seated beneath them.
EDUCATIONAL SETTING
CLIENT: MT ALBERT GRAMMAR SCHOOL
"A practical solution which adds interest to the area for onlookers."
LOCATION: Secondary school quadrangle/assembly area
SITUATION: We were approached by an architectural firm to quote on a multiple shade sail set up for the new quadrangle being established at Mt Albert Grammar. Shelter from heat and UV were required as well as an aesthetically pleasing feature for the quadrangle, a large open area.
SOLUTION: 3 overlapping shade sails were suspended from 7 poles, some of the poles shared between sails.
The original design plan was modified to improve the functioning and look of the sails..
