Throwback to one of our construction sites:
At KCC Mall of General Santos, a printed ETFE atrium roof brings natural daylight into the heart of a retail and leisure destination in one of the Philippines' fastest-growing cities. The printed design balances light and solar control, creating a comfortable indoor environment while maintaining the open, sky-connected feeling that shoppers respond to.
General Santos sits in a region that experiences significant sun intensity year-round. Getting the solar control right is not optional, it directly determines whether the mall's central spaces are inviting or uncomfortable. ETFE's printability gives the design team precise control over that balance.
Projects like this show that ETFE is no longer an exclusive material for iconic buildings in major cities; it is the right technical solution for retail developments across the Asia Pacific region.
