Project Details
Scanlan Kemper Bard Companies (SKB) contracted Outside Landscape Architects (LA) for their Greenwood Plaza redesign project in Greenwood Village, Colorado. One of the options included the need for an eye-catching and modern canopy as the centerpiece for the community to enjoy the outdoor spaces.
Outside LA reached out to the Tension Structure Division of Eide Industries, Inc. for professional guidance with design and functionality. To save money on structural engineering, city permits and fabrication costs, Eide was able to consolidate the original two-canopy design into a one-frame system, while keeping the two-canopy appearance. The new free-standing structure increased the durability of the tensioned canopy, and exceeded local wind-load and snow-load requirements.
