If You Want More Than Just a Shade Solution 


... if You Want An Outstanding Structure That Enhances Your Site & Adds Value To Your Property, Then Consider Working With Us  ...

A Message From the Principal Designer ...

PictureTrevor Scott
Hi, I’m Trevor Scott.  I've devoted most of my working life to the design of world class fabric shade structures and even earned my Masters of Engineering Membrane Lightweight Structures (First Class) from Vienna, the spiritual home of lightweight architecture.

In fact,  I've been fortunate enough to have travelled the world working on cutting edge projects for my clients. I've won multiple international awards for some of my unique copyrighted structures. 

Further, I have focused my education, my experience, my design talent and my technical skills into a bespoke company that specialises in nothing but eye-catching, functional fabric structures for premium clients.  

I say this not to impress you, but to impress upon you that your next project is important and choosing the right designer is crucial.  If you want more than just a shade solution ... if you want a creatively functional form that makes a unique architectural statement, enhances your site and adds value to your property, then consider working with me.  

My company has the experience and flexibility to deliver you the ultimate design solution within your budgetary constraints. Importantly, we can take care of EVERYTHING ... the design, engineering, manufacturing  and installation of your Fabric Tensile Shade Structure, all under one roof.   Making Lightweight Structures the ultimate solution under the sun.

— Designer Trevor Scott (M. Eng. Membranes Lightweight Structures). Professional Accreditations:  Building Design – Medium Rise; Builder – Low Rise. Victorian Commercial Builder; Builder Restricted to Special Structures (Shade Sails).

Lightweight Structures’ depth of design engineering and construction skills make the difference when working with you to meet your functional, aesthetic and budgetary outcomes. This knowledge, and the company's single focus means we can complete all facets of design and engineering in-house and oversee all installations ... from conceptual presentations, engineering analysis, working drawings, fabric patterns and engineering certification for council submission. That means no buck-passing, no productivity leakage. And no hassles for you. 

Blend of skills strike the right balance for your project

PictureBond University, Gold Coast.
Our expertise allows us to strike a cutting-edge balance between form and function. We'll aim for flow and simplicity in your design.

We'll work with your architects to create their vision

PicturePlayground, Hong Kong Jockey Club.
Our design team intimately understands the flexible dynamics of the light weight structural product. We have a hands-on understanding of both fabric and steel fabrication and project installation. This knowledge of the individual components within a built tensile project will be reflected in the design and engineering of your completed structure. Our best work is done in conjunction with architects. Our skill base, technologies and vast past experience allows our design and engineering team to transform an architect's vision into an engineered structural form.

Popularity grows for Tensile Membrane Structures

Picture
Trevor oversees every stage of a project.
With the ability to replace traditional building materials and create a landmark structure, architectural textiles are sweeping the world of stadium and event structure design. Forward-thinking architects understand the cost, environmental and aesthetic benefits of lightweight structures. They are constantly seeking to push the boundaries of form, tensile load & visual effect. Textiles in this exciting field should reflect this desire to move ahead by offering the latest advances in base cloth construction, pre-tensioning & high-tech coatings.
