Project overview: Construction of car roof system at Toyota Showroom
Project car canopy at the Toyota showroom is a modular tensile membrane architectural solution, specifically designed for outdoor display areas and parking lots. The project uses a sail-shaped cantilever structure, not only meeting the requirements of shielding and protecting vehicles but also creating a modern, dynamic architectural space, suitable for the brand image.
- Investor: Toyota (Thailand)
- Category: Canopy for exhibition area and car parking
- Structure: Cantilever structure, sail-shaped membrane module system
- Main materials: PVDF stretch film, steel structure
- Location: Thailand (Assumption)
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The project was implemented with the aim of creating a parking and outdoor display space that is both functionally efficient and aesthetically pleasing. The main technical requirements include:
- Optimize parking space: The canopy structure must have a minimal footprint, using as few columns as possible so as not to impede vehicle traffic, parking and opening.
- Modern architectural design: The canopy shape must be dynamic, eye-catching, demonstrating the modernity and technology of the Toyota brand, avoiding boring, repetitive modular designs.
- Effective vehicle protection: The main function is to shield and protect the paint and interior of display cars as well as customers' cars from the effects of UV radiation and heavy rain.
- Flexible and efficient structure: Require a solution that can be quickly constructed and is capable of being dismantled and relocated when space re-planning is required.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To meet the above requirements, Flexiiform proposed a comprehensive technical solution, using a sail-shaped cantilever membrane structure.
Sail Cantilever Module Design
The technical solution is a system of multiple cantilever-shaped (hypar) canopy modules. Each module is supported by a single inclined steel column, located between the two parking spaces. From the top of the column, the tensile membrane is stretched to the four corners, creating a canopy for two cars without the need for additional support columns at the front or sides. This design completely frees up the surrounding space, making parking and opening the car doors easy and safe.
Technical Material: PVDF stretch film
The covering material is a high-grade PVDF stretch film, which is completely UV resistant, helping to protect the paint and interior of the car from the harmful effects of sunlight. The PVDF coating also helps to prevent dirt and has a long life, ensuring investment efficiency. This is the optimal material solution for projects. Stretch canvas structure.
Structural and Foundation Systems
The steel column system is designed to withstand the bending moments and uplift forces caused by the cantilever structure and wind loads. Each column is connected to an independent reinforced concrete foundation system, calculated to ensure absolute stability and safety for the entire structure, even with only a single support point for each module.
Results and Performance Evaluation
System car canopy After completion, it brought a comprehensive solution, excellently meeting the requirements of Toyota showroom:
- About function and space: Optimize parking space, create clear aisles and parking areas, free of pillars.
- In terms of aesthetics and branding: The dynamic, modern sail design creates an architectural highlight, reinforcing Toyota's high-tech brand image.
- About protection effectiveness: Canopies provide effective protection from the elements, helping to maintain the value and condition of display vehicles.
- About investment efficiency: Modular solutions, fast construction and the ability to relocate bring economic efficiency and high flexibility to investors.
