Info: 5-point sail for villa

The tensile structure for a villa in the city serves to protect the relaxation area from rain and sun.

The polyester/PVC membrane is tensioned at five points at different heights: two on the house, two on the technical room, and the last point, the lowest, on a tree. The shape of the roof is designed to collect water and channel it towards the garden.

The tensioning system is based on the creation of a shaped perimeter pocket containing a stainless steel cable that is tensioned using screw tensioners.
