West Plaza at the Singapore Sports Hub features an ETFE canopy providing lightweight weather protection for a major public gathering space. The canopy is a wonderful addition to the Singapore Sports Hub itself.
West Plaza – Singapore Sports Hub ETFE Canopy
At the Singapore Sports Hub, the West Plaza was designed as a key public arrival and gathering space. To provide weather protection while preserving openness, an ETFE canopy was installed to shelter visitors moving through the plaza and adjacent circulation areas.

Lightweight and Efficient Roofing
Lightweight system enables a refined steel support structure.
The canopy uses ETFE to create a weather-protected environment without introducing heavy structural elements. The lightweight system allows a refined steel structure and helps maintain visual clarity across the plaza. The result is a sheltered outdoor environment that supports high visitor numbers while preserving the open character of the Sports Hub.
