Project Overview: Construction of canvas roof for golf course at Angkor Golf Resort
Project Golf course canvas cover at Angkor Golf Resort, Cambodia is an architectural solution designed for the restaurant and rest stop area. The project solves the problem of balancing high aesthetic requirements and economic efficiency, by applying a sail-shaped tensile membrane structure with a minimalist support system, intelligently integrated into the existing building.
- Investor: Angkor Golf Resort
- Category: Architectural canopies for restaurants and rest stops
- Structure: Multi-span, minimalist structure, sail-shaped (hypar) membrane
- Coverage area: >100 m²
- Main materials: PVDF membrane, steel structure, cable system
- Location: Siem Reap, Cambodia
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The project was developed with one core requirement from the client: to create a covered space that is both iconic and economically efficient. The main technical requirements include:
- Balancing Aesthetics and Cost: The design must have an attractive, unique architectural form but must be optimized in structure and materials to ensure reasonable investment costs.
- Minimalist and Over-Rhythmic Structure: Need to cover a large area (over 100 m²) with a minimum number of supporting columns to create an open, unobstructed space.
- Integration with Existing Projects: The new roofing solution must be able to link and harmonize with the structure of the existing restaurant building to form a unified architectural whole.
- Fast Construction: The installation process needs to be done in a short time to minimize disruption to the resort's business operations.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To meet the problem of balancing the above factors, Flexiiform has come up with a smart technical solution, making the most of the advantages of tensile membrane architecture.
Multi-span Sail Structure Design
The design solution is a multi-span, undulating sail-shaped membrane system that creates an architectural rhythm when viewed from multiple angles. This form not only offers a light, delicate aesthetic but is also structurally efficient, allowing for the economical creation of stable curved surfaces.
Optimized Structural Solution: 2 Columns for 100 m²
To meet the requirements of economic efficiency and open space, an optimal structural solution was adopted. The entire roof system of more than 100 m² is supported by only 2 steel columns. One edge of the tensile membrane is anchored directly to the existing building structure, completely eliminating a row of supporting columns. A suspension cable system is used to support and stabilize the long spans of the roof. This solution significantly reduces the amount of steel, foundation costs and construction time.
PVDF Engineering Materials
The membrane material is a high-grade PVDF, which is resistant to environmental impacts, self-cleaning and has a long service life. The use of this lightweight material is a key factor in allowing for a minimalist structural solution. This is a clever application of Stretch canvas structure.
Results and Performance Evaluation
Project Golf course canvas cover Angkor Golf Resort has successfully solved the problem of balancing aesthetics and economics, bringing many practical effects:
- On economic efficiency: The minimalist structural solution has significantly reduced investment costs in materials and construction compared to traditional roofing solutions of the same scale.
- On structural efficiency: The project demonstrates the effectiveness of combining a tensile membrane structure with an existing structure, creating a solid roof system with a minimum number of supporting columns.
- Aesthetically: The undulating sail design has created a highly aesthetic architectural space, in harmony with the landscape and enhancing the class of the restaurant area.
- About operating efficiency: Providing a comfortable, covered resting space for visitors. The self-cleaning PVDF material also helps to reduce maintenance costs for investors.
