As urban public spaces continue to evolve, modern park design places greater emphasis on functionality, durability, and architectural identity.
In this project, SKYtensile designed a leaf-inspired tensile membrane canopy for a park sports court, providing effective weather protection while serving as a distinctive landscape landmark.
The design concept is inspired by overlapping leaves, creating a soft and organic architectural form.
Compared with conventional rigid roofing systems, tensile membrane structures offer lightweight construction, large-span capability, and high design flexibility, making them ideal for public parks and sports facilities.
PTFE is one of the most advanced and reliable materials in the tensile membrane structure industry, especially for large-scale outdoor applications.
Key advantages include:
- Excellent weather resistance (UV, rain, wind)
- Long service life of 25–30 years
- High light transmittance, reducing daytime lighting needs
- Self-cleaning surface, lowering maintenance costs
- Superior fire resistance, meeting international standards
Covering approximately 1,000 square meters, the canopy provides effective protection from rain and sunlight, significantly improving the all-weather usability of the sports court.
Optimized membrane curvature ensures efficient drainage while maintaining excellent wind resistance and ventilation.
This project demonstrates how tensile membrane architecture can go beyond basic shelter functions and become an integral part of urban landscape design.
By combining innovative form-finding, premium PTFE materials, and precise engineering, SKYtensile delivers solutions that balance aesthetics, durability, and performance.
