Project Overview: Property Perfect Swimming Pool Cover – Unique Tensile Membrane Architecture
Project analysis article Property Perfect swimming pool cover, a typical example of the application tensile membrane structure (tensile fabric structure) in high-end civil works. The project demonstrates the flexible shaping ability and outstanding technical advantages of specialized tensile fabric materials, turning a sheltering structure into an architectural highlight.
- Category: Architectural canopy for swimming pool area.
- Investor: Property Perfect, Thailand.
- Main materials: PVC-Polyester tarpaulin, steel structure.
- Technical objectives: Cover, create column-free space, optimize natural light and ensure aesthetics.
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The project posed specific technical requirements for an outdoor functional space in a high-end residential area. The main challenges that needed to be addressed included:
- Space and function requirements: A large area of the pool needs to be covered to protect users from UV radiation and rain, and a completely pillar-free space must be created to ensure safety and not hinder swimming activities.
- Lighting requirements: The solution must allow natural light to diffuse through, maintaining the brightness of the area but not causing glare, in order to save on daytime lighting costs and create a comfortable feeling.
- Aesthetic requirements: The design must be iconic, in harmony with the landscape of a luxury real estate project, creating a unique architectural highlight instead of just a simple sheltering structure.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
Flexiiform has applied a tensile membrane architectural solution with optimally calculated material selection and structural design to simultaneously meet functional, technical and aesthetic requirements.
PVC-Polyester Tensioned Tarpaulin Material Selection
The material used is a Polyester tarpaulin with high mechanical strength, covered with a protective PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) layer. This choice is based on the following technical characteristics:
– Diffuse light transmission: The film allows a proportion of natural light to pass through (usually from 10-20%), creating an evenly lit environment, without harsh shadows, eliminating glare on the water surface.
– UV and weather resistance: PVC coating contains additives that help resist the effects of ultraviolet rays and environmental factors (humidity, pool chemicals), ensuring the longevity of the project.
– Light weight: This property significantly reduces the load on the frame and foundation compared to traditional roofing materials such as glass or metal, allowing for the creation of elegant structures.
Design of Hypar (Hyperbolic Paraboloid) Structure
The structural solution chosen was the Hypar (saddle) or corrugated clamshell form. This is a classic form of tensile membrane structure, creating anticlastic curved surfaces through the application of tension at high and low points. This design not only creates an impressive architectural form but is also extremely structurally efficient, allowing for large spans with a minimal steel frame, meeting the requirement of column-free space.
Results and Performance Evaluation
Project Property Perfect swimming pool cover has proven effective in many aspects, bringing added value to the entire project:
- About Function and Safety: The canopy system provides complete protection from the sun and rain. The column-free structure and elastic properties of the stretch fabric enhance the safety of the water play area, eliminating the risk of collision with pillars.
- About Lighting Environment: The space below receives diffused natural light, creating a pleasant feeling and completely eliminating the need for electric lighting during the day.
- On Aesthetics and Real Estate Value: The project has become an iconic architectural landmark, contributing to shaping the landscape and significantly enhancing the aesthetic value and commercial appeal of the entire project.
