Please describe the project specifications

Kindergarten playground's cover


What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

The project purpose was to protect the pre-school children from the sun during their open air activities. So they decided to cover the hall and the playground area between the classroom's buildings of the British School kindergarten.


What is unique or complex about the project?

The challenge was to adjust the shape of the roof into the existing architectural plan which shows an irregular space between the existing buildings. Also to achieve a good proportion in the creation of a unique space, repeating the hexagon pattern of the buildings into the cover and the intention in simulate a tree style structure, meanwhile we wanted to have as few supports as possible to achieve more free space. And finally to solve the water drainage, we create water canalizations over each frame in order to avoid the possibility of water ponding.


What were the results of the project?

It was very good, all the pieces fit and the customer was satisfied with the results.
