An extension in the form of a covered walkway was designed. This non-enclosed walkway had to be aesthetical and protect from bad weather while offering an important luminosity for the passengers comfort. The entire walkway has a multimaterial roof made of 1202 S2 which allows translucency, but the real added value of this project is the STFE which offers a great transparency avoiding any sense of enclosure and creating a dynamic effect. The three STFE sections turn the roof into remarkable skylights.
