Project overview: Construction of garden canopy at Sansiri Garden residential area
Project garden roof at Sansiri Garden is a landscape architectural work, applying tensile membrane structure to create an outdoor common living space that is both highly aesthetic and meets the function of shielding. The work is designed as a sculpture, becoming the central highlight for the garden of a high-class residential area, improving the quality of life and amenities for residents.
- Investor: Sansiri PLC
- Category: Architectural canopies for gardens and common living areas
- Structure: Multi-sail membrane system, circular arrangement
- Main materials: PVDF stretch film, steel structure
- Location: Bangkok, Thailand (Assumption)
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The project was implemented with the requirement of creating a covered utility space in the common garden, not only serving residents but also being an architectural work that enhances the value of the entire residential area. The main technical requirements include:
- Unique architectural design: The design must be a focal point, with a sculptural shape, different from conventional canopies to create a symbol for the garden.
- Light, harmonious texture: The structure must be aesthetically pleasing, elegant, not heavy, and able to seamlessly integrate into a carefully designed landscape space.
- Safety for Residents: The project is located in a residential area with a lot of traffic, especially children, so the design must comply with strict safety standards, especially at column and anchor points.
- Optimize space usage: Maximum coverage area should be provided with a minimum number of supporting columns to create an open, flexible space for community activities.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To meet the above requirements, Flexiiform proposed a comprehensive technical solution, using a tensile membrane structure with a unique custom design.
Circular Multi-Sail Structure Design
The technical solution is a tensile membrane structure consisting of multiple sail-shaped modules (hypar) arranged in a circular layout. These sails are connected to a central steel column and smaller steel columns on the outer perimeter. This design creates a complex architectural form, simulating a flower or a natural structure, providing a striking visual effect from every angle and optimizing the coverage.
Technical Material: PVDF stretch film
The cover material is a high-grade PVDF membrane, which has high tensile strength, long service life and UV resistance. The translucent properties of the material help create a pleasant shaded space without being completely dark, maintaining the growth of the grass underneath. The PVDF coating surface has self-cleaning properties, allowing the canopy to maintain a clean appearance in a garden environment. This is an ideal material for projects Stretch canvas structure high aesthetic requirements
Minimalist Bearing System
To maximize usable space and create a sense of lightness, the load-bearing system is designed to be minimalist. Instead of using many large steel beams, the structure mainly relies on the tension of the membrane and the steel cable system to maintain stability. The steel columns are arranged in reasonable positions to minimize space obstruction, and the column feet are designed to be safe, avoiding sharp edges.
Results and Performance Evaluation
Project garden roof Sansiri Garden after completion has become an iconic architectural and utility project for the residential area:
- Aesthetically: The unique sculptural design has created a luxurious architectural highlight, significantly enhancing the landscape and real estate value of the area.
- About function: Provide a spacious, covered outdoor communal living space that protects residents from sun and rain and encourages community activities.
- About safety and friendliness: Compact structure, safe, in harmony with the green environment, creating a friendly space for all ages.
- About investment efficiency: Tension membrane solutions are effective in terms of fast construction time and low maintenance costs, making them a smart investment choice for public utilities.
