Project overview: Construction of a roofing system for a resting hut in Phu Quoc
Project gazebo canopy (Private Pavilions) in Phu Quoc is a tensile membrane architectural solution designed for resting spaces and outdoor facilities in a luxury resort. The project applies a multi-point tensile membrane design with a sculptural form, not only meeting the requirements of shielding but also creating a unique architectural highlight, replacing the traditional pavilion form.
- Investor: Luxury resorts in Phu Quoc (reference)
- Category: Awning series for gazebos/utility areas
- Structure: Six-point tension membrane, symmetrical multi-peak form
- Main materials: PVDF stretch film, steel structure
- Location: Phu Quoc, Kien Giang, Vietnam
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The project was implemented with the goal of creating outdoor resting spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, overcoming the monotony of traditional resting huts covered with corrugated iron or tiles. The main technical requirements include:
- Unique Architectural Design: Requires a design with impressive architectural form, highly sculptural, acting as an aesthetic highlight for the resort landscape.
- Durability and Low Maintenance: The structure and materials must have a long life, be resistant to Phu Quoc's island climate (sun, rain, humidity, salt vapor) and require little maintenance, solving the problem of rapid deterioration of conventional huts.
- Optimal Structure: A structural solution that is efficient in terms of material usage, ensuring economy while still realizing complex design ideas is required.
- In Harmony with the Landscape: The hut must be designed to harmonize subtly with the garden space and general landscape of the resort.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To meet the above requirements, a comprehensive engineering solution was adopted, focusing on geometric design and high-performance tensile membrane materials.
Six Point Structure Design Crystal Form
The technical solution is a symmetrical six-point tensile membrane structure, creating a hexagonal shape with three peaks and three valleys alternating. This design creates a crystalline or origami-like shape, giving a complex and subtle visual effect. The entire roof system is supported by a single central steel column, from which arms extend to lift the three peaks of the membrane.
Technical Material: PVDF stretch film
The cladding material is a high-grade PVDF membrane, which has a long design life and is UV resistant. The PVDF coating provides a smooth, self-cleaning surface under the influence of rain, helping the awning maintain a clean appearance and reduce maintenance costs. The material’s light weight and good tensile strength are key factors in enabling the design to be realized. Stretch canvas structure have complex morphology
Minimalist Bearing System
Thanks to the optimized geometric design, the load-bearing system is minimized. The central column bears the majority of the compressive load, while the tensile force of the membrane is transmitted to the anchor points in the foundation. This solution minimizes the steel volume, optimizes investment costs and creates an unobstructed, open space below.
Results and Performance Evaluation
Project gazebo canopy in Phu Quoc has brought a successful solution, improving the quality of amenities and aesthetics for the resort:
- Aesthetically: The unique sculptural design has created luxurious and modern architectural highlights, contributing to enhancing the class and distinction of the resort.
- About function: Provide sheltered, cool and comfortable resting spaces, protecting visitors from the sun and rain and encouraging the use of outdoor spaces.
- About investment efficiency: Tensile membrane solutions with optimal structures have proven to be cost-effective and time-saving compared to building complex-structured pavilions with traditional materials.
- About durability and operation: The use of high-grade PVDF materials ensures a long life for the project with very low maintenance requirements, solving the problem of long-term operating costs.
