Rising R4
Strut-supported architectural coverage
A strut-supported architectural retractable-roof system developed for projects that want an open front condition without conventional front support profiles.

Architectural intent
The R-number defines the structural idea. Subulate or Falcate defines the roof expression.
The final system is selected from the site geometry, support strategy, intended roof form and the current Rising technical package.Subulate flat + Falcate curved pathways
Current manufacturer drawings before manufacture
Two roof expressions
One structural family. Two architectural forms.
Both variants remain project-led. Exact span, projection, support steel, fabric, motorisation, drainage and accessory compatibility are confirmed against the selected current configuration.Subulate
Flat strut-supported formA flat retractable-roof system using Rising's dedicated support-strut arrangement instead of conventional front support profiles.
Falcate
Semi-oval strut-supported formThe curved R4 pathway retains the support-strut concept while changing the roof geometry to a semi-oval form.
System planning points
What matters before the configuration is frozen.
Support-strut structural language
Open-front architectural intent
Flat or semi-oval roof pathways
Fixings and supporting construction require project review
Applications
Built for architectural outdoor projects rather than catalogue-size buying.
These are examples of project types where Rising R4 can be considered. Final suitability remains site- and destination-specific.Hospitality terraces
Commercial façades
Architectural courtyards
Premium residential projects
Technical evidence rule
We do not freeze an R-Series project from a website maximum.
Rising publishes product-family information for the R-Series, but architectural configurations depend on the exact Tectona or Minima roof package, support condition and project geometry. Apollo uses website information for early planning only. Quotation and manufacture require the current manufacturer drawing and technical package for the actual project.
This also keeps older catalogue dimensions, historical certificates and superseded component information from being carried forward as if they were current project evidence.
