Please describe the project specifications

Manufacture of tent for the Circus Atayde Hnos. for his show.
New experience! In tour along Mexico.


What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

The company Circus Atayde Hnos is the company of more tradition in Mexico with 125 years of life.
Since one of the most important companies of circus in Mexico they gave beginning to give exemptions of his name to some businessmen who had good profile to present his shows.
We were contacted by a Mexican businessman to design them and to make new tents of small size.


What is unique or complex about the project?

We achieve with the presented and made design a few small sizes that to balance the size of the principal cover (34 m Ø) we increase the height using some tensostructure awnings on the exterior part to manage to increase the visual size to the royal size.
The same thing for the entrance tent we eliminate central post with an exterior arch that by means of cables of steel was remaining suspended the tent and the interior sight frees of posts and this way to shine the small lobby like a small casino.


What were the results of the project?

The client remain satisfied besides that the owners of the exemption Atayde Hermanos want to adopt the same design for other 5 circuses in exemption and to take it as a prototype in size, colors and design.
