Canopy Rain Shelter banner

The tent canopy was developed as a rain shelter above client parking at ‘Holden Auckland’ service centre building.

While the first proposal was to emphasise the structural elements rather than the tent, finally it was replaced with the second solution adding several columns and placing them wider to achieve more space under.

Here the idea came to adapt basic origami technique to shape the tent.

About the
Professional

LevelUp is a small architectural and design practice based in Auckland NZ. Our studio was established in 2004 as a union of two professionals and have since have been working together with a recent move to NZ in 2014.

We have experience in working on a wide range of projects: residential, commercial, retail. Our creative team is open to any type of collaboration with other architectural studios, designers and artists.

Our philosophy is based on knowledge that quality architectural building always combines client’s dreams, architectural training and experience with good management skills to coordinate consultants, suppliers and builders. But what all that is without a passion for a creative idea to be shaped as a unique, innovative, authentically pure Object of Art!

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
