Project Overview: Construction of a roof for a resort restaurant at Putahracsa Hua Hin
Project resort restaurant canopy at Putahracsa Hua Hin is a unique architectural solution, combining a square, minimalist steel frame structure and a high-quality tensile membrane roof system. The project is designed to create a luxurious, airy outdoor dining space, maximizing views of the landscape and meeting high durability requirements in a coastal environment.
- Investor: Putahracsa Hua Hin Resort
- Category: Architectural canopy for outdoor restaurant area
- Structure: Post-and-beam steel frame structure and tensile membrane roof
- Main materials: PVDF stretch film, anti-corrosion steel structure
- Location: Hua Hin, Thailand
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The project was implemented with the goal of creating a classy outdoor dining space, giving diners a full experience of the beauty of the resort. The main technical requirements include:
- Open and Minimalist Architecture: Requires an open, airy design, with a simple, elegant structural frame, avoiding unnecessary details to maximize the feeling of relaxation.
- Optimize Vision: The roof structure must not obstruct the diner's view of surrounding landscape areas such as swimming pools and gardens.
- Lightweight Texture: Prioritize a roofing solution with low self-weight to be able to use a slim steel frame system, minimizing the size of the foundation and impact on the existing structure.
- Marine Environment Resistance: The project is located in Hua Hin, a coastal area, requiring all materials to be highly resistant to salt corrosion and withstand high wind loads.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To meet the above requirements, a hybrid architectural solution was chosen, combining the advantages of traditional steel structures and modern tensile membrane materials.
Hybrid Structural Design: Steel Frame and Tensile Membrane Roof
The technical solution is a hybrid structural system. The main load-bearing part is a square, minimalist post-and-beam steel frame system, giving a familiar and luxurious architectural feel. However, instead of using traditional heavy roofing materials such as tiles or metal roofing sheets, the roof covering system uses ultra-lightweight tensile membrane material.
Technical Material: PVDF stretch film
The membrane material is high-grade PVDF. The use of this material significantly reduces the self-weight of the roof system, allowing the steel frame system below to be designed more elegantly and delicately. The PVDF coating ensures UV resistance, water resistance, and a smooth surface for easy cleaning and maintenance. This is a smart application of Stretch canvas structure, harmoniously combined with other structural forms.
Load-bearing Structure System
The entire steel frame system is designed to withstand wind loads in the coastal area of Hua Hin. The structural components are treated with anti-corrosion surface by galvanizing and powder coating to ensure longevity in high humidity and salt air environments. The foundation solution is designed to suit the geological conditions to ensure long-term stability.
Results and Performance Evaluation
Project resort restaurant canopy at Putahracsa Hua Hin has created a unique architectural space, excellently meeting the set goals:
