Home / Projects / Tensile Membrane Srtuctures / Shade Structure - Cone Type

A tensioned membrane built as a single-mast structure, featuring two separate textile canopies positioned at different heights. The form evokes a free interpretation of a classic cone—a “fake cone”—creating a striking silhouette and providing effective shade.

Installed at Rhodes Port, the structure serves as a shelter for passengers waiting to board, blending functionality, aesthetics, and resilience to coastal conditions. The design balances architectural elegance with practical performance, making it a standout feature in the port’s landscape.
