HOTEL

Demountable tensioned fabric structure

The pool side restaurant to this international brand hotel is an important revenue stream for the business. The existing parasols were simply not providing sufficient protection from the weather, impacting the business. 

In addition that space is irregular and difficult to cover with ordinary solutions. Large glass walls also make fixing extremely challenging. With a free form tensioned membrane, the material allows for flexibility of design and location fo fixing due to efficient spanning capabilities.

The result is a playful interaction of two tensioned fabric membranes, contributing to the customers experience and providing sufficient protection from weather conditions.
