Project Overview: Design and Construction of Saddle Tent for Glamping Resort
Project saddle tent is a high-end glamping accommodation solution, applying a saddle-shaped tensile membrane structure (hyperbolic paraboloid) to create an open, unique space in harmony with the natural landscape. The project is designed to meet the high requirements of architectural aesthetics, functionality and resort experience of tourists.
- Investor: Tropical E-glamping Dong Nai
- Category: Saddle Tent
- Frame structure: Central arch structural steel frame
- Covering material: Specialized PVC/PVDF stretch film
- Location: Dong Nai Province, Vietnam
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The project is implemented with the goal of creating an accommodation model with breakthrough architecture, bringing a different spatial experience to visitors, while ensuring technical standards of durability and comfort in Vietnam's climate conditions.
- Creating iconic architecture: The core requirement was to create a highly sculptural architectural form, using the curves of the saddle structure as the main highlight.
- Optimizing open space: The design had to provide a spacious interior, completely column-free, allowing for flexible functional arrangements.
- Ensuring durability and safety: The structure must be calculated to withstand wind and rain loads according to construction standards, ensuring absolute safety for users.
- In harmony with nature: The design needs to create a seamless connection between the interior space and the exterior landscape.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To realize this unique design idea, Flexiiform has applied advanced technical solutions in the field of tensile membrane architecture.
Saddle Structure Design (Hyperbolic Paraboloid)
The core technical solution is a saddle-shaped tensile membrane structure, or hyperbolic paraboloid (hypar). This shape is created by a central steel arch and low anchor points at the corners, forming a two-dimensional curved surface. Structurally, the hypar structure is inherently very stiff and stable because the tension is evenly distributed over the entire surface, allowing for large spans without the need for many secondary structures.
Specialized Material System
The main frame system uses structural steel that is machined and surface treated against corrosion to ensure longevity. The covering material is architectural tensile membrane (PVC or PVDF), a composite material that is UV resistant, 100% waterproof and has high tensile strength, suitable for the strict requirements of the project. The choice of this material is a key factor in the Tension membrane architectural solutions.
Optimizing Interior Space
Thanks to the central arch structure that bears the main load, the entire interior space of the tent is completely freed from the supporting columns. This creates an open, airy and flexible floor plan, allowing the investor to easily arrange functional areas such as bedrooms, living areas and other amenities according to the standards of a high-class resort.
Results and Performance Evaluation
Project saddle tent After completion, it has brought a unique glamping accommodation product, excellently meeting the architectural and functional goals:
- In terms of architecture: The saddle shape has created a highly iconic structure, becoming a unique highlight for the resort.
- About space and function: The open, column-free interior space maximizes the usable area and brings a new spatial experience to visitors.
- About durability and safety: Stable and sturdy hypar structure ensures safety in different weather conditions.
- About user experience: The open design helps visitors feel in harmony with nature, enhancing the quality of their resort experience.
