6-star sala for 6-star residence!
Shades (Thailand) Co., Ltd recently designed, manufactured and installed this patio sala for one of Phuket’s most stunning villas.
Tensioned architectural fabric, Thailand teak and polished 316 grade stainless steel - a beautiful combination!
The structure was purpose-designed with the villa owner’s major objectives in mind: to provide dining shade for up to 10 guests, particularly during low morning sun angles, to take advantange of the stunning view without obstructing it from the elevated main villa, and to blend with the Thai-inspired architecture of the villa complex. We were fortunate in the design process to be able to have our recommended materials agreed to by the client – weldable PVDF architectural fabric Verseidag Duraskin 4017 , beautiful Thailand teak, and polished 316 grade stainless steel frame and membrane fittings.

Do awnings matter?
Le Meridien at Phuket think so….. Shades recently designed and installed a series of tensioned fabric awnings on the charming Pakarang Restaurant building located in the middle of the huge beachside swimming pool.
The result….? More seating area for dining, more protection from the wet season’s rain storms and the dry season’s tropical sun, and a stunning facelift for one of Phuket’s resort icons!
Our mission: awnings that look great, preserve and enhance the best features of the building's looks, and provide diners with year-round shelter

"Barrel vault" awning design along both sides of the indoor-outdoor restaurant. All components of the design were pre-fabricated at Shades' Phuket factory and installed in just a few days without the need for messy on-site metal work
A free-standing barrel vault was chosen for the entrance to blend with the main awnings design
