ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE?
In Mexico, we are known as ARQUESTRA, a company with over fifteen years of expertise in Textile Architecture and Tensile Structures. Our participation in numerous international projects has consistently delivered exceptional results.
Now, in the U.S., we are SKYFLEX Tensile Structures LLC, eager to bring our extensive experience to serve you. With strong alliances with engineers and contractors in the Texas Valley, we are excited to introduce a fresh perspective to textile architecture in the United States.
WHAT DO WE DO?
We specialize in constructing tensile structures—designs composed of elements that rely solely on tension, free from compression or bending. This innovative approach enables the creation of striking, open spaces that are both lightweight and exceptionally strong. At SKYFLEX Tensile Structures, we elevate this concept to new heights, offering unmatched flexibility and efficiency in architectural design.
BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
At SKYFLEX Tensile Structures, we believe in the perfect harmony of innovation, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. Our philosophy is rooted in the conviction that architecture should not only serve practical purposes but also inspire and elevate the human experience. We are committed to pushing the boundaries of design and engineering, crafting tensile structures that are as elegant as they are robust.
We approach every project with a deep respect for the principles of sustainability, efficiency, and creativity. Our dedication to excellence drives us to continuously refine our techniques and embrace new technologies, ensuring that our work not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our clients.
Our team is united by a shared passion for creating spaces that transcend conventional limits, providing solutions that are as versatile and adaptable as they are beautiful. We believe that through our work, we can contribute to a more innovative and sustainable built environment, one that reflects our commitment to quality, integrity, and forward-thinking design.

These structures are engineered to withstand various environmental conditions, and they require only occasional attention to maintain their aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. With our straightforward maintenance plans, you can enjoy the benefits of tensile architecture without the hassle of frequent upkeep, allowing your structure to continue enhancing your space for years to come.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND SKYFLEX
SKYFLEX utilizes advanced materials like high- strength fabrics and membranes, known for their exceptional versatility and performance. These materials are often coated with polymers to enhance their durability and resistance to environmental factors, such as UV rays, extreme weather conditions, and corrosion. The use of architectural membranes offers numerous advantages, including lightweight construction, flexibility in design, and ease of maintenance. Additionally, these membranes allow for natural light diffusion, creating bright and welcoming spaces while also contributing to energy efficiency. The result is a structure that is not only visually stunning but also robust, long- lasting, and sustainable.
SKYFLEX proudly partners with world-renowned suppliers of high-quality architectural membranes, such as Sioen, Serge Ferrari, and Verseidag. These industry leaders are known for their advanced technologies and commitment to excellence, ensuring that our projects are built with materials that offer superior durability, aesthetics, and performance.
Each of our membrane suppliers utilizes cutting-edge technology in the production of their fabrics. For example, Serge Ferrari’s patented Précontraint® technology provides outstanding dimensional stability and longevity, while Sioen’s expertise in technical textiles ensures exceptional resistance to environmental factors. Verseidag, another leading name in the industry, offers membranes with innovative coatings that enhance UV protection and self-cleaning properties.
By using these top-tier materials, SkyFlex Tensile Structures delivers solutions that not only meet the highest standards of quality but also push the boundaries of what’s possible in tensile architecture.
