Tensile Seating Shades – Samar Al-Ammariyah Resort Riyadh
This iconic installation represents RAACO's artistic mastery in structural tensile membrane shading for the ultra-luxury Samar Al-Ammariyah Resort in Riyadh.
The project unites cutting-edge organic architecture with rigorous tensile engineering, offering cool, comfortable shaded relaxation that harmonizes with the desert canyon scenery.
Key technical highlights:
- Hyperbolic paraboloid (hypar) tensile sails engineered to maximize membrane rigidity and aerodynamic stability.
- Specialized translucent membrane producing soft natural daylight while glowing dramatically under evening architectural up-lighting.
- High-tensile stainless steel rigging anchored deeply into native rock formations using high-strength chemical anchors.
