BUSSTATION LEIDSCHE RIJN

On the tunnel roof of the A2 highway, next to the shopping centre and near the Leidsche Rijn Centre train station, is the Leidsche Rijn bus station. Designed by Annebregje Snijders.
The lightweight steel structure contains 10 hexagonal chalices, supplemented by 18 smaller highpoints. It makes you think of Gothic cathedrals, but of steel and fabric.
Tentech delivered the engineering of structure and membrane.

Textile architecture projects

The covering of a courtyard, canopies or stadiums… Tentech is part of the building team when textile and complex geometric shapes are used in new or existing architecture. Often we are responsible for a specific part of the design. In dialogue with the architect, contractor and client, we achieve an optimal contribution.

The design…

Our designs are characterized by sculptural quality and clean detailing, along with requirements of the location and usage of the structure. Combined they result into strong architectural concepts, in which aesthetics goes hand in hand with safe usage.

…and more

Our work doesn’t end with the realization of the technical design. We focus on all aspects of the design and production process that have an impact on textile architecture. Therefore, we are involved with all phases of the design process: from project definition, composition and preliminary design to the technical design, quotation, workshop drawings and maintenance. Supervising production, translating design into tailor made cutting patterns and connections, and assistance in the search and selection of the right market participants, are also part of our services. In our view, this is part of ‘modern craftsmanship’.
