Metalab was retained by Greater East End to design a prototypical market kiosk for the Navigation Blvd Esplanade in the east side of Houston.  These shade structures are installed along with our Ringo LED pedestrian lighting system with accompanying solar generators.  The wispy design alludes to the the Vesica Piscis,  the shape created by the union of two circles which historically in gothic architecture has symbolized community and union.  A perforated sheet metal shell roof provides dappled light shading while retaining transparency to reduce wind loads.  The perforated pattern references the tradition of "papel picado" in the Hispanic culture of the surrounding neighborhood.
