Tensile Fabric Structures at Night
At J & J Carter, we specialise in the design and manufacturing of tensile fabric structures. These innovative structures are more than functional; they transform the spaces they occupy, especially at night when lighting brings them to life. When illuminated, tensile fabric structures create beautiful atmospheres, making them perfect for public spaces, events, and landmarks. The interplay of light and fabric invites people to engage with their surroundings in new and exciting ways.
By combining design with artistic lighting, our structures become stunning focal points, drawing attention and admiration after dark. Therefore, whilst we focus on the creation of high-quality tensile structures, many of our projects have integrated advanced lighting systems provided by external contractors, transforming our fabric designs into captivating night-time landmarks.
Lighting and Tensile Fabric Structures
Lighting plays a vital role in accentuating the architectural beauty of our tensile structures, enhancing their functionality and aesthetic appeal for night-time use. By integrating thoughtful lighting designs, we ensure that our structures not only serve their intended purpose but also contribute to the overall ambience of the environment.
Lighting systems are provided by external contractors, who turn our work into something truly extraordinary at night. The flexibility and translucency of the tensile fabric materials allow for many creative lighting applications.
Beacon of Light: A Shining Example of Fabric Architecture
The Beacon of Light project in Sunderland stands as one of our proudest achievements. We manufactured the tensile fabric structure, creating a landmark that is not only functional but also a symbol of community. For the nighttime, lighting contractors added custom lighting solutions that turn the structure into a glowing beacon visible from afar. The lighting design complements the structure’s unique fabric, helping it stand out in the night sky and fostering a sense of unity and pride for the local community. The Beacon is pioneering in the UK, aiming to address social and educational challenges across the broader region.
Portsmouth Tri-Sail: A Coastal Landmark
Our Portsmouth Tri-Sail project features a striking sail-shaped structure located along the coast. Manufactured by J & J Carter, the tensile fabric design takes on new dimensions at night when illuminated by external lighting systems. The sails become a glowing landmark, creating a dramatic visual effect visible from both land and sea. This project is a great example of how our fabric structures can serve as traditional landmarks while also being transformed by lighting to create a memorable night-time display.
Silverstone Circuit Hotel: Motorsport Meets Modern Architecture
At Silverstone Circuit, we delivered the tensile fabric for the Hilton Garden Inn, creating an architectural feature that stands out both day and night. By night, lighting systems provided by external specialists work in harmony with our tensile fabric to produce a striking illuminated structure. This combination enhances the hotel’s appearance during high-profile motor racing events, adding a modern, sleek look to the Silverstone landscape. The fabric’s flexibility allows the light to diffuse beautifully, making it a visual centrepiece.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Night-Time Lighting
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at J & J Carter. While we focus on manufacturing tensile fabric structures, we ensure that our materials also integrate with energy-efficient lighting systems, provided by external partners. Our fabrics allow lighting specialists to create sustainable lighting solutions that minimise energy consumption while maximising visual impact. This commitment to sustainability ensures that our tensile structures are not only beautiful at night but also environmentally responsible.
