Project Overview: Construction of poolbar canopy at Dream Phuket Hotel & Spa
Project pool bar canopy at Dream Phuket Hotel & Spa is a large-scale tensile membrane structure, designed as a sculpture to create a focal point for the pool area. The structure not only provides comprehensive protection but also serves as an iconic architectural element, enhancing the class and experience for resort guests.
- Investor: Dream Phuket Hotel & Spa
- Category: Architectural canopy for pool bar area (Pool Bar)
- Structure: Multi-peak, free-form tensile membrane
- Main materials: PVDF stretch film, steel structure
- Location: Phuket, Thailand
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The project was developed with the requirement to create a world-class pool bar space, both a service center and an iconic architectural work of the resort. The main technical and aesthetic requirements included:
- Sculptural architecture: The canopy design must be the main highlight of the entire pool area, with a unique, soft shape, simulating natural elements such as ocean waves to create a true resort space.
- Large span, open space: The structure needed to cover the entire bar area and surrounding lounge space, while using a minimum number of supporting columns to create an open, airy and unobstructed space.
- Marine environment resistance: The project is located in Phuket, a coastal environment with high humidity, salt concentration and UV radiation intensity, requiring materials and structures with outstanding durability.
- Optimize comfort: Canopies must provide effective shade, reduce the temperature of the space below, and create a pleasant microclimate to attract and retain customers.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To meet the above requirements, Flexiiform has implemented a comprehensive technical solution, from complex geometric design to the selection of specialized materials.
Freeform Multi-vertical Tensile Membrane Structure Design
The technical solution is a free-form multi-peak tensile membrane structure. The design was developed using specialized Form-Finding and analysis software, which allows for the creation of complex, undulating surfaces that mimic the appearance of ocean waves. The structure is supported by large steel columns strategically placed to maximize the usable space below and create varying heights and low peaks, creating a striking visual effect.
Technical Material: PVDF stretch film
The cladding material is a PVC-coated polyester membrane with a PVDF finish. The PVDF coating plays a key role, providing UV and mildew resistance and creating a smooth, self-cleaning surface in the presence of rain, helping to reduce maintenance costs. Light-colored materials are chosen to effectively reflect heat, keeping the space below cool. This is the standard material for projects architectural stretch canvas high-class.
Load-bearing and Safety Systems
The entire steel structure system, including columns, beams and connecting details, is calculated using structural analysis software to ensure the ability to withstand high wind loads in the coastal area of Phuket. The foundation system is specially designed to ensure long-term stability of the structure in complex ground conditions.
Results and Performance Evaluation
Project pool bar canopy After completion, it has become an architectural icon, raising the class of Dream Phuket Hotel & Spa and bringing many practical values:
- In terms of architecture and branding: The project with its unique design has created an unmistakable highlight, enhancing the image value and brand positioning of the resort.
- About function and convenience: Providing a large, cool and comfortable covered space, the pool bar area becomes the center of activity and relaxation for visitors.
- On business performance: The attractive and comfortable space has attracted customers to spend more time at the pool bar, directly contributing to increased revenue for the resort.
- About operating efficiency: The material has high durability and self-cleaning ability, helping investors save on long-term maintenance costs.
