Project overview: Design and construction of Sadec glamping tent with saddle structure
Project Sadec glamping tent is a high-end resort, applying the saddle tent model to create a series of unique, highly aesthetic accommodation spaces that blend into the typical river landscape of the Southwest. The project is a combination of modern tensile membrane architecture and minimalist design philosophy, focusing on the user experience.
- Investor: Glamping Sadec
- Category: Saddle Tent
- Frame structure: Central arch structural steel frame
- Covering material: Specialized PVC/PVDF stretch film
- Location: Sa Dec, Dong Thap, Vietnam
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The project is developed with the aim of creating a unique resort destination in Sa Dec, taking advantage of the natural landscape. The main technical and design requirements include:
- Iconic architecture: The request to use the saddle tent structure as the main design to create a unique, highly recognizable architectural mark.
- Optimize space and visibility: The design had to provide an open, column-free interior space and maximize views of the river landscape outside.
- Ensuring privacy and comfort: It is necessary to have a reasonable arrangement of tents to ensure privacy for visitors, while still providing full amenities of a high-class accommodation facility.
- Durability in tropical climates: All materials and structures must be able to withstand the hot, humid, rainy climate of the Mekong Delta.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To meet the above requirements, Flexiiform has implemented a comprehensive technical solution, from structural design, material selection to overall layout.
Saddle Structure Design (Hyperbolic Paraboloid)
The core technical solution is a saddle-shaped membrane structure (hypar). This shape is formed by a central steel arch and low anchor points at the corners, forming a two-dimensional curved surface. This structure is inherently very stiff and stable due to the evenly distributed tension, allowing the creation of a large space without the need for many sub-structures, in line with the minimalist design philosophy.
Specialized Material System
The main frame system uses structural steel with specialized anti-corrosion paint to ensure longevity. The covering material is architectural stretch film (PVC or PVDF), which is UV resistant, waterproof and has high tensile strength. The choice of light-colored materials also helps to significantly reduce heat absorption, maintaining a cool space inside. This is an important technical factor in glamping tent design for tropical climates.
Optimizing Minimalist Interior Space
With a column-free structure, the interior space is completely freed up, allowing for a minimalist layout that focuses on the user experience. The tent's large open sides, combined with wooden floors and natural materials, create a cozy yet modern resort space that connects directly with nature.
Results and Performance Evaluation
Project Sadec glamping tent After completion, it has become a unique resort destination, attracting tourists and highly appreciated in terms of architecture as well as user experience:
