The architectural design by Birdair at the Folkestone Terminal located in the United Kingdom is a masterpiece of form and function. Birdair's innovative flying masted conical design adorns the terminal, adding a touch of modern elegance to this historic site.
In 1992, Birdair designed, fabricated and installed this conical canopy system, comprised of about 7500 square feet of PTFE membrane. With its gracefully curved lines and sleek structure, not only serves as a striking visual centerpiece but also offers practical benefits, providing shelter and protection for passengers and visitors.
