ORION Enclosed Canopy

ORION Enclosed Canopies combine the highly popular ORION Barrel Vault tensile membrane canopy with a selection of side cladding, doors, heaters, lighting and surfacing options to create enhanced weather protected spaces. Clear span structures with tall centre lines create a spacious feel, and the soft membrane provides an ambient environment as well as absorbing the sound of rain, voices and echo to a greater extent than a hard roof covering such as polycarbonate or steel.

The flexible design aesthetic and distinctive elegant form of a tensile fabric canopy results from the characteristics unique to membrane tension. In daylight, fabric membrane translucency provides diffused, naturally lit spaces, while at night, artificial lighting can be used to create an ambient exterior luminescence. The lightweight nature of tensile membrane design requires less structural steel compared with conventional roof coverings, enabling clear spans of column-free space.

Streetspace undertakes dynamic thermal analysis modelling during the detailed design stage of each enclosed canopy project, taking into account the specific site conditions and the orientation of the structure. The specification of the roof, size and positioning of ventilation gaps, doors and heaters are adjusted as required to ensure temperatures in summer and winter fall within accepted parameters for the use.

The Streetspace experienced multi-disciplinary team coordinates the design and delivery of ORION Enclosed Canopies as a single package, including liaison with building control, civil engineering works, surfacing and electrical installation.

ORION Enclosed Canopy Design Features

High Sunlight Reflectivity

High sun reflectivity results in a lower energy requirement to maintain room temperatures of adjacent buildings.
One-Piece Fabric Membrane

No joins to trap dirt or moisture and advanced fabric coatings provide a smooth, low maintenance surface.
All Weather Protection

Enclosure options include polycarbonate, planar glass, aluminium glazed curtain walling and fabric façade panels.
Tall Centreline

Free from lattice beam obstructions, the clear span rafter design creates a spacious feel.
Sound Absorption Qualities

Soft membrane fabrics absorb echo, the sound of rain and voices to a much greater extent than a hard roof.
Positive Light Transmission

The combination of ‘no-glare’ ambience with excellent light transmission eliminates the need for lighting during the day.

ORION Enclosed Canopy Enclosure Options

Toughened Glass Walling

Glass wall panels give a contemporary feel to the design, combined with fully glazed aluminium doors. The toughened glass panels are mounted only on the edges keeping sight lines as free as possible. The unique mounting design detail eliminates direct openings to the outside and creates a more weatherproof environment.
Aluminium Curtain Walling

Aluminium curtain wall systems can be specified for TRITON Enclosed Canopies and this is a great option for giving a space a particularly high-end feel, or matching in with an adjacent building design. Doorsets and windows can be seamlessly incorporated. For a higher specification of structure with curtain walling, consider our Glazed Structures.
