Geometry definition
The architectural surface, structural depth, support points and buildable segmentation need to be resolved together.
ZABALERA · ARCHITECTURAL & SPECIAL STRUCTURES
Architectural & Special Structures
Complex geometry. Extraordinary results.
Architect-led large-span structures for projects where geometry, visibility and structural expression are central to the building. Domes, vaults, curved spatial systems, skylights and free-form forms are developed around the architectural concept and project design basis.
APPLICATIONS
Designed around the operating brief.
PROJECT PRIORITIES
Resolve the interfaces before the structure is frozen.
Node & connection logic
Complex forms only work when connection families, tolerances and fabrication sequencing remain rational and inspectable.
Envelope integration
Glass, metal, membrane and other roof or façade systems must interface with the primary geometry without creating unresolved movement or drainage details.
Fabrication & erection
Transportable module size, temporary works, lifting sequence and site tolerances shape the final geometry as much as the concept image.
STRUCTURAL PATHWAYS
Multiple structural forms. One project design basis.
Final system selection and practical span remain project-specific. ZABALERA does not present a single generic structure as suitable for every site or application.

CONNECTED APOLLO SYSTEMS
Coordinate the structure with the wider project.
Apollo NZ Global is a wholesale and project-supply company. Exact design code, calculations, foundations, local approvals, civil works, erection, commissioning and statutory sign-off remain project-specific and are undertaken or approved by the appropriately qualified project parties unless expressly included in the agreed scope.
