Project Overview: Space Renovation with Canopy at Tropical E-glamping
Project awning (Terrace Canopy) at Tropical E-glamping Dong Nai is a space renovation solution, transforming a single-function terrace into a multi-functional and highly aesthetic common living area, using tensile membrane architectural technology. From an initial requirement for sun and rain protection, the solution has been upgraded to an architectural highlight for the entire resort.
- Investor: Tropical E-glamping Dong Nai
- Category: Awning for main living room
- Coverage area: 56 m² (size 17m x 3m)
- Main materials: PVDF stretch film (light transmittance 25%), stainless steel accessories
- Installation time: 1 day
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
Initially, the investor requested a standard sun and rain protection solution for the terrace area of the communal house. However, after the field survey, the technical requirements were expanded and redefined to optimize the investment value:
- Optimize functionality: In addition to providing protection from the elements (sun, rain), the awning should create a covered outdoor living space that can be used in all conditions.
- Enhance aesthetic value: Design should not only be functional but also become an architectural highlight, enhancing the attractiveness and brand recognition of the glamping area.
- Ensuring lighting efficiency: Take advantage of natural light but control heat and glare, creating a bright yet airy and comfortable space.
- Progress requirements: The installation process had to be quick so as not to disrupt the resort's business operations.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To synchronously meet the above requirements, Flexiiform has proposed and implemented a comprehensive technical solution, applying advanced materials and construction methods.
Engineering Materials Selection
PVDF stretch film: Using PVDF architectural stretch film with light transmittance of 25%. This level is calculated to balance two factors: providing enough natural light for the space below to save electricity for lighting, while effectively blocking UV radiation and reducing heat transmission, creating a comfortable feeling.
Stainless steel accessories: The connecting details, including the gusset plate and bolts, are made from stainless steel (Inox) to ensure corrosion resistance and long-term durability in Vietnam's humid tropical climate.
Tension Membrane Structure Design
Instead of a traditional flat roof design, Flexiiform's solution is a tensile membrane structure with a unique sculptural shape. This design is based on the principle of forming from tension, allowing the creation of complex curved surfaces. This shape not only increases aesthetics but also optimizes the roof's load-bearing and drainage capacity. This is the outstanding advantage of Tension membrane architectural solutions compared to conventional hard roofing materials.
Optimized Installation Process
All steel structures and tarpaulins are processed synchronously and precisely at the factory according to technical drawings. This process ensures quality and minimizes construction time at the construction site. The installation process at Tropical E-glamping is carried out and completed within 1 day, meeting the requirement of not interrupting the resort's operations.
Results and Performance Evaluation
Project awning After completion, the project not only met but also exceeded the initial requirements of the investor, bringing many measurable results:
- About function: The canopy provides a 56 m² outdoor living space, fully protected from sun and rain, increasing the effective usable area of the main living area.
- On energy efficiency and comfort: The light transmittance of 25% has proven effective, helping the space to always be naturally bright during the day without causing a feeling of heat.
- About investment efficiency: With a material life of up to 15 years and low maintenance costs, the solution offers long-term economic benefits.
- About architectural value: The project has become an attractive highlight, regularly appearing in promotional images of the resort, contributing to enhancing brand value.
