Project Overview: Construction of a roof for a beach restaurant at Anantara Phuket Resort
Project Beach restaurant canopy at Anantara Phuket Resort is a tensile membrane architectural solution specifically designed for outdoor coastal dining spaces. The project was implemented to optimize business space, provide comfort and protection for diners under harsh weather conditions, while ensuring a sleek design that does not obstruct the view of the sea.
- Investor: Anantara Layan Phuket Resort
- Category: Architectural canopy for coastal restaurant area
- Structure: Mono-pitch membrane
- Main materials: PVDF membrane, marine grade corrosion resistant steel construction, 316L stainless steel accessories
- Location: Phuket, Thailand
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
Designing and constructing projects in coastal locations such as Anantara Phuket poses many unique technical challenges:
- Marine environment resistance: The structure must be highly resistant to corrosion from salt spray, humidity and intense UV radiation. This is the most important technical factor that determines the lifespan of the structure.
- Complex wind loads: Coastal areas are often exposed to strong winds from many different directions. The roof structure must be analyzed and calculated to ensure aerodynamic stability and absolute safety.
- Optimize view: The core requirement was that the design should minimize obstructions, keep the space open and maintain the panoramic view of the sea, which is the restaurant's greatest value.
- Foundation solutions: Construction on coastal sandy soil requires a specially designed foundation solution to ensure load-bearing capacity and long-term stability of the structure.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To solve the above problems, Flexiiform has come up with a comprehensive technical solution, focusing on simplicity in design and superiority of materials.
Mono-pitch Structural Design
The technical solution chosen was a single-slope tensile membrane structure. This design has a high side anchored to the existing structure of the restaurant and a low side supported by a single row of columns on the outside. This structure has outstanding technical advantages: it completely frees up space and views towards the sea, while creating a steep slope that allows rainwater to drain quickly and efficiently.
Materials Engineering for Marine Environments
To ensure maximum durability, specialized materials for the marine environment have been used:
– PVDF stretch film: The covering material is high-grade PVDF membrane, which is UV resistant, anti-mold and inert to sea salt environment.
– Corrosion resistant steel structure: The entire steel frame system is hot-dip galvanized and multi-coated with C5 level epoxy-polyurethane paint system (the highest level for marine environments).
– 316L Stainless Steel Accessories: All critical connection details such as cables, bolts, and membrane clamps are made of 316L stainless steel, the material with the best resistance to pitting corrosion.
This is a comprehensive material solution for construction projects. architectural stretch canvas coastal
Results and Performance Evaluation
Project Beach restaurant canopy Upon completion, the value and business efficiency of Anantara Phuket Resort's outdoor dining space will be significantly enhanced:
- About function: Providing an outdoor dining space that is completely sheltered from sun and rain, allowing the restaurant to operate at full capacity in all weather conditions.
- About customer experience: Diners can fully enjoy the beauty of the ocean in a comfortable, convenient space without obstructing the view.
- About durability: The application of high-grade anti-corrosion material solutions ensures long-term construction with minimal maintenance costs in harsh marine environments.
- Aesthetically: The minimalist, modern and elegant design of the canopy has subtly harmonized with the overall architecture of the resort, enhancing luxury and class.
