Buitink Technology has developed a Modular Textile Canopy (MTC) that can be used for countless forms of temporary, seasonal, semi-permanent or permanent living areas or usable spaces.

Modular basic structure with personalised outer shell

The MTC is constructed using a modular aluminium profile system. The structure is based on a simple box shape made up of connected profiles to which elements can be added.

The MTC is designed so that a simple, modular structure can be used as a basis for the creation of an individualised outer shell of textiles or membranes, or more traditional building materials such as wood or glass.

Advantages and features

Buitink Technology’s Modular Textile Canopy offers a variety of key benefits:

• For temporary, semi-permanent, seasonal or permanent use (in all weather conditions);
• Easy to assemble and dismantle;
• The MTC’s sidewalls and the roof can be made up of separate, modular textile sections that can be stretched or removed independently of each other. Appropriate fabrics can be selected according to the weather conditions or the requirements: densely woven fabric or mesh, no fabric, full-color printed fabric, etc.;
• Several separate membranes can be fitted over the MTC frame to form the roof and sidewalls and you can decide which of them are to be stretched tight or not according to the weather conditions or season;
• The MTC has been designed as a lightweight kit that is compact enough to ship around the world in a standard container;
• Wind-breaking, rain-resistant or sun-blocking mesh fabrics can be used, as can densely woven sailcloth or even transparent sections;
• Can be fitted with all the usual fixtures: windows, doors, frames, wooden floor, wooden walls, glass walls, etc.;
• Can be fitted with wall sections to shelter you from side winds and rain;
• Can be fitted with solar panels.
