Project Overview: Construction of luxury Tented camp at Shinta Mani Wild
Project luxury tented camp at Shinta Mani Wild, Cambodia is a unique resort architecture, designed by architect Bill Bensley. The project uses multi-layer tensile membrane structural solutions to create luxurious tented villas, meeting the highest standards of experience and sustainability, and built with a philosophy of minimal environmental impact to preserve the pristine ecosystem.
- Investor: Shinta Mani Wild – A Bensley Collection
- Design unit: Architect Bill Bensley
- Category: 15 Luxury Tented Villas
- Structure: Multilayer tensile membrane structure on steel frame system
- Main materials: PVDF/PTFE stretch film (outer layer), interior decorative fabric (inner layer), steel frame
- Location: Wildlife Sanctuary, Cambodia
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The project is located in an isolated and ecologically sensitive location, requiring an architectural solution capable of addressing stringent technical and environmental challenges:
- Maximum Conservation of Ecosystem: The top technical requirement was that the construction method must have minimal impact, not damaging the existing landscape and forest ecosystem.
- Interior Microclimate Control: A key technical challenge was to ensure that the tent villas could be effectively air-conditioned in hot and humid climates, while also thoroughly solving the problem of condensation on the material surface.
- Logistics Challenges: Transporting construction materials and equipment to a remote location with complex terrain requires lightweight material solutions and flexible construction methods.
- Durability in Jungle Environment: The material must be highly resistant to humid tropical climate conditions, including high humidity, heavy rain, solar radiation and insects.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To meet the above specific requirements, tensile membrane architectural solutions have been selected as the main technology, combined with sustainable construction methods.
Double-Skin Roof Solution
The central technical solution to the problem of heat and humidity control is a double-layer roofing system. The main outer roof layer uses a high-performance PVDF/PTFE stretch membrane for waterproofing and heat reflection. Below is an interior fabric ceiling layer. The space between the two membranes creates an air cushion, which acts as insulation and promotes convection, allowing hot air to escape. This solution effectively prevents condensation on the ceiling surface when using air conditioning.
Modular Structure and Low Impact Construction
The entire steel frame and membrane layers are precisely manufactured in the factory as modules. This helps to minimize heavy construction activities on site, protecting the ecosystem. The erection process is carried out using low-impact methods, suitable for complex mountainous terrain. This is a standard construction process for projects.

Sustainable Materials
The selection of premium tensile membrane materials with a design life of decades minimizes the need for replacement and repair, in line with the project's sustainability philosophy. The tensile membrane cladding system is resistant to mold and insects, ensuring a safe and hygienic living environment.
