Project Overview

Located in Tel Aviv, Israel, this church tensile membrane canopy project was completed in 2022. The structure covers an area of approximately 378 m² and features a framed dome-style tensile membrane design supported by a steel structure. The steel framework is treated with an epoxy zinc-rich primer and a white topcoat to ensure long-term corrosion resistance and durability. The roof is clad with 1100 g/m² gray PVDF architectural membrane, rated B1 for fire resistance, meeting safety standards for public and commercial buildings.

Challenge and Solution

The client required a modern canopy that provides effective sun and rain protection while integrating seamlessly with the church’s existing wall structure. After detailed coordination, our design team proposed a dome canopy combined with a curved cantilever membrane edge, achieving both functional coverage and architectural harmony with the existing building.

Installation
and Support

On-site installation was carried out by the client’s construction team, with our engineers providing professional guidance throughout the process. A segmented assembly method with crane lifting was adopted to ensure accurate positioning and uniform membrane tension. The project was completed efficiently and in full accordance with design and performance requirements.

Application

This type of tensile membrane structure is well suited for churches, commercial buildings, and public spaces, offering a lightweight, durable, and visually distinctive roofing solution. For customized membrane structure solutions, please contact our engineering team.
