Steel Canopy in Total Fina Rest Stop | Deforche Construction Group

A steel canopy from Forzon, a group company associated with Deforche Construction Group, was used to create a motorway rest stop in Belgium. The structure was designed by Samyn and Partners architects to create a delicate structure that plays with light. The canopy was designed with a heavy steel structure and wide arch spans. The high box beams act as the notch supports for a customized green roof. To deal with rainwater, internal gutters were installed in between the rafters, with a line-up of hip capping on the crosscut sides. The underside of the awning was finished with parallel tubes.
