INTEGRATION ETFE, LUXEMBOURG STATION

The hall stands out for the design and details of the metal structure. The ETFE coverings are naturally integrated into the neo-baroque architecture of this building.

The new structure conveys a visual lightness of great beauty, created by means of a diamond-shaped geometry. This element was also used as the basis of a special design printed on the ETFE sheet. The pedestrian marquee, as an inverted roof gable has a length of 117 m and a width of 8 m.

The hall marquee creates a unique and naturally integrated space at the station. The cover, with a length of 65 m, is divided into 160 pieces of ETFE. Each membrane is reinforced with cables arranged parallel each 85 cm. The printing of the sheet has different opacities that blend the natural light. The new space was designed with a dynamic structure, steel support and an ETFE covering.
