We made a preliminary design of a dismountable patio roof for a terrace on behalf of Crown Plaza in Amsterdam.

Following request was received from the client:

"We are looking for an elegant patio roof to make our outside terrace more attractive to visitors. We prefer having a special design, not a standard solution. Can you offer something special for us?

Design assignment

Due to this request we visited the client and the site. Based on this visit a design assignment was defined:

Client: Crown Plaza, Amsterdam

Assignment: Design a patio roof with dismountable shadow canvas

Requirement/requests:

1. Easy removable (every day) canvas.
2. Possibility of the construction to be dismountable
3. height of the roof must be flexible, dependent of position of the sun and direction of the rain.
4. Optionally a side wall must be placed.
5. Surface area about 100-120 sqm.

Based on this design order and demands we prepared a design. An impression of the final design is shown below.
