Tensile Design
In designing tensile fabric structures, Architen Landrell provides unparalleled service to a vast range of clients with widely diverse briefs. The company’s origins in architecture, product design and engineering are the starting point for what we go on to manufacture and build regardless of size, fabric or application.
We believe that the creativity of architects, interior designers and clients must not be restricted. It is not our job to tell people what they can't have but to help build what they want. For clients who require more input, we are always happy to be involved in projects from their conception, and to guide and advise our clients when they are not quite sure how fabric works best.
Our multi-disciplinary team comprises architects, structural engineers and product designers, combining creative and technical expertise, who work flexibly to tailor our input to the needs of each project.
With our long history within this industry, we have the knowledge to advise clients on how the structure will look and perform within a wider architectural context. This attention to detail in our structures is what distinguishes us from our competitors.
Our reputation as design consultants who provide impartial expert advice to clients comes from our proven ability to create accurate and practical structures of elegance, subtlety and longevity. In the design of tensile structures, our skills are unrivalled and we are frequently approached by clients to develop an idea long before the full contract is agreed. We call on our extensive in-house expertise from Design, Project Management, Manufacturing, Purchasing and Installation to study and advise on the concept of the project from the very beginning before exploiting the latest up-to-date computer and CAD technologies and calling on some of the UK's foremost engineers to help to develop our client's ideas and put them down on paper. Our clients are kept fully-involved in the design process at all stages to ensure we are proceeding in line with their requirements at all times - and within their budget restraints.
while technical considerations are always important, we also look to encourage the utmost creativity in our work.
Our team is constantly faced with design problems to resolve and is persistent and dedicated in its approach. In the past we have managed to design structures which can be installed without the need for mechanical plant, when site access is limited, and to develop structures which impose no additional loads on surrounding, existing buildings. Yet while technical considerations are always important, we also look to encourage the utmost creativity in our work. Tensile structures lend themselves exceptionally well to forming unusual and unique shapes that more conventional construction materials would fail to produce. As designers we are constantly faced with creative and technical problems to resolve every day and it is these challenges that we thrive on.
Architen Landrell offers exciting and innovative design solutions, even for the most demanding of briefs, and our well established research and development capabilities constantly broaden our knowledge and allow us to feed innovations back into the industry. Our unrivalled reputation as a company that provides impartial expert advice and top-quality unique and elegant fabric structures for both external and indoor uses comes from these proven abilities.
