One of the largest shopping and leisure centers in Greece with a fully retractable membrane roof of more than 2,600m² , winner on 2011 for the AFAI “Award of Excellence”.
The complex aspect of the roof covering Athens Metro Mall was that the complete fabric roof of just about 2,600 m2 was to be retractable with a controlled driving mechanism. Each single fabric panel out of Tenara fabric is fully controlled and can be moved independently from the others.
