The beach house, during the season, has its outdoor areas used throughout the morning and afternoon. The garden, which already featured a pool area and gazebo, allowed the family to stay, but its users missed a protected and cozy outdoor spot from the sun.
In this house in front of the beach, the choice of the Pool Tent brought elements from the sea to solid ground. Using parametric architecture for the design, we made the tent a sculptural element, where the membrane generates twisting effects that simulate the movement of the wind.
Installed in a dry seating area outdoors, the tent brings simplicity and evokes the sea element, inspired by traditional sailboats.
The system was created using architectural and environmental comfort software, taking into account various data, such as the sun's position in the area on different days of the year, to ensure the best thermal adaptation of the project.
