An extension in the form of a covered walkway was designed. This non-enclosed walkway had to protect users from bad weather and be aesthetically pleasing, while delivering a high level of light. The entire walkway has a multi-material roof made of Flexlight 1202 S2 which allows translucency, but the real added value of this project is the STFE which offers significant transparency to avoid any sense of enclosure and create a dynamic open-air effect. The three sections with STFE turn the roof into remarkable skylights.
