We received the following request from our client:

"Our community is committed to re-design the Old Market. During the initial project phase the idea was to create a dismountable tent roof with fixed masts, having integrated lightning. Could we have a meeting in a short notice in our office to discuss this plan. And, important too; to discuss the costs?"
