Case studies that show how owners, operators, and developers transformed facility performance and financial outcomes with OpenAire systems.
Epic Waters in Grand Prairie, Texas, set out to create more than an indoor attraction. The goal was a destination that could operate 365 days a year, attract both local families and tourists, and deliver consistent financial performance.
By partnering with OpenAire to design and install a large retractable roof enclosure, the city of Grand Prairie gained the ability to operate as an outdoor waterpark on favorable days and as a fully enclosed, climate-controlled indoor waterpark during extreme heat, rain, or cold.
The results:
Epic Waters has become the gold standard for municipal waterparks, envied by Parks and Recreation departments nationally. This successful destination is being mimicked in communities around the country. Contact us to arrange a tour today!
Located in Toronto’s Fashion District, Gusto 101 wanted more than a seasonal rooftop patio. The objective was a dining destination that felt open and energetic while remaining usable well beyond the city’s short outdoor season without compromising design integrity.
By partnering with OpenAire to install a telescoping all-glass retractable roof and operable enclosure, the rooftop now functions as an outdoor patio in favorable weather and a fully protected dining environment during rain, cold, and shoulder seasons.
The results:
Like every OpenAire project, the solution was engineered to meet climate conditions, guest experience goals, and long-term revenue performance.
OpenAire partners with owners, developers and operators from early feasibility through installation and beyond. Working with architectural teams to ensure every building meets performance, code, and design requirements while reducing risk at each stage.
We work closely with developers, owners, and their project teams to define operational goals, site conditions, and performance requirements for each commercial facility ensuring the retractable roof skylight or building solution is aligned with financial targets.
Our in-house design and engineering teams develop custom retractable roof and enclosure systems tailored to the structural, mechanical, and environmental demands of each project—integrating seamlessly with building architecture while meeting performance, safety, and building code requirements.
Each retractable roof system is fabricated using proven materials and manufacturing processes designed for durability and long-term reliability. This controlled approach ensures consistency, quality, and performance across complex commercial installations.
OpenAire manages installation and commissioning to ensure each retractable roof or building performs as intended in real-world operating conditions. Our team remains engaged beyond installation to support long-term operation, maintenance, and system performance through our complete project warranty.
Founded in 1989, OpenAire has delivered more than 1,300 custom retractable roof and enclosure systems worldwide. We partner with owners, architects, and engineers to create high-performance environments that prioritize safety, durability, efficient energy usage, and long-term operational value.
Every OpenAire project begins with a collaborative discussion. Whether you’re evaluating feasibility, developing early concepts, or refining an active commercial project, our team can help assess the right retractable roof or enclosure solution.
