St George’s Garrison Church
The fully-bespoke tensile and glulam structure is a sympathetic yet contemporary addition to the historical ruins following its near destruction in 1944 by a V2 flying bomb.
Working alongside a team of other specialist sub-contractors including Greenwoods Project Management, over 400m2 of bespoke tensile canopy will part-house the decorative and atmospheric remains of the church, providing much needed shelter for the delicate mosaic interiors.
The new bespoke tensile roof answers the demand for practical weather-protection and injects a new lease of life so that soon-to-be owners, Heritage of London Trust, can continue to use its inspiring and poignant space for open air services, memorials and community events. Completion is due early 2015.

See You Then bar, Cheltenham
The company, contracted to Kier Construction, will complete phase 1 (including the integrated tensile fabric canopy) this September in time for the 2014-15 race season. The project is part of an overall master scheme for the racecourse, which as a whole, is one of Kier’s largest ever projects in the South West region. See You Then will hold prime position overlooking the parade ring and will be an ongoing high-quality catering destination for special events at the racecourse.
High Design for OASIS Project
The OASIS project is a catalyst in transforming the local community by taking a previously segregated and inaccessible area on the banks of the River Strule and turning it into a vibrant public realm plaza, available to all and with a multitude of uses.
Fabric Architecture’s bandshell is the focal point of the scheme, forming an iconic covered performance and stage area. With its 30+ year life expectancy the structure meets all the criteria for long-term sustainability as set out in the project objectives.

Heathrow T2B - Onsite, In sight
With the opening of Heathrow Terminal T2B you can now see for yourself how Fabric Architecture designed and engineered this extensive series of beautifully practical “baffles”. These fabric solution panels not only serve to filter sound but also diffuse light and project colour displays from the integrated LED lighting systems. Working initially with Grimshaws, then alongside Balfour Beatty onsite, Fabric Architecture successfully completed the installation of 1500m2 of fabric for this scheme.
