Project overview: Construction of canopy roofing system at the building's lobby
Project canopy roof in the lobby of a modern office building is a tensile membrane architectural solution designed to create a series of canopies that both protect and are an important aesthetic element for the building facade. This solution uses sail-shaped canopy modules, bringing a light, delicate and luxurious appearance to the entrance area.
- Category: Awning series for lobby and entrance area
- Structure: Cantilever structure, sail-shaped membrane module system
- Main materials: PVDF stretch film, powder coated steel structure
- Application: Office buildings, hotels, shopping centers
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The project was implemented with the requirement of creating a lobby space that is both luxurious and comfortable, which is the first impression of customers and partners on the building. The main technical requirements include:
- Minimalist, modern architectural design: Requires a roofing solution with a sophisticated, uncluttered design that harmonizes and enhances the modern architectural lines of the building.
- Compact structure: The canopy needs to create a light, airy, almost "flying" feeling, avoiding using large beam and column frames that create a heavy feeling.
- Optimize light and visibility: Must ensure effective sun protection without darkening the lobby area, while maintaining ventilation and not obstructing the view.
- Effective shielding function: Provide a protected area from sun and rain at the parking lot and walkway to the main lobby.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To meet the above requirements, Flexiiform proposed and implemented a comprehensive technical solution, using a cantilever modular tensile membrane structure.
Sail Cantilever Module Design
Technical solution is a system of many modules. canopy roof The modules are independent and have a sail shape (hypar). Each module is designed as a cantilever, anchored directly to the building's facade structure and supported by a slender steel strut system. The repetition of these modules creates a unique architectural rhythm and allows for the efficient and flexible covering of a long area.
Technical Material: PVDF stretch film
The cladding 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 diffuse natural light, creating cool shade without causing darkness. The PVDF coating surface has self-cleaning ability, helping the awning maintain a clean appearance, in line with the standards of a high-end office building. This is one of the solutions canopy architecture modern.
Load-bearing Structure System
The load-bearing frame system consists of powder-coated steel struts to ensure durability and aesthetics. The connection points between the roof and the building structure are carefully calculated using specialized software to ensure the ability to withstand wind loads and safely transmit forces to the main structural system of the building. The minimalist design of the frame system is an important factor in projects. architectural stretch canvas.
Results and Performance Evaluation
System canopy roof After completion, it brought a comprehensive upgrade to the building's lobby area:
- Aesthetically: The sail-shaped module design has created a modern, luxurious and highly recognizable facade, leaving a strong impression on customers.
- About function: Provides an effective sheltered lobby space, allowing for smooth pick-up and drop-off operations in all weather conditions.
- About architectural value: The structure has become an architectural element that adds value to the building, demonstrating investment in quality and detail.
- About investment efficiency: Tension membrane solutions with their compact structure and quick installation process have proven to be cost and schedule effective compared to traditional roofing solutions.
