Who We Are
Proudly New Zealand designed, engineered and built
Spaceframe brings proven New Zealand expertise, practical Kiwi know-how and a can-do approach to every project — home of the OPAL Canopy.
From the first consultation through design, engineering, consent, fabrication, installation and final handover, our team manages the entire process. Beyond handover, we continue to support our clients with ongoing care, planned maintenance and long-term canopy support to help protect performance, appearance and value over the life of the structure.
One dedicated project manager stays with your project throughout, giving schools a single point of contact and clear accountability from start to finish.
Our Products
Every structure is engineered from the ground up — combining tensioned membranes, precision steel frames, and proven installation methods for lasting performance.
Our flagship OPAL Canopy — Serge-Ferrari tension membrane over a hot-dip galvanised steel spaceframe structure.
Premium Coloursteel and Durolite Webglass cladding on proven vault structures.
Bespoke sculptural forms — geodesic domes, petal canopies and oversized shade sails.
“The fastest building project I’ve ever been involved with — and the attention to detail and professional service throughout was equally impressive.”
— Principal, Heretaunga Intermediate School
