Flexibility is the primary function of Sunshade-Deck, simultaneously, some properties such as modular transformable structure, lightweight, manual stablishment, transformability,and sustainability have been considered. This structure is able to cover some spaces as a Deck, when it is not necessary to be worn by canopy in the wet seasons. Conversely, in the dry seasons the functionality becomes a canopy. The futuristic material, Metal Foam will be used because of its favorable strength to weight ratio. Its platform is made by CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) panels that are cut to spec in factory.

In the latter days of 2014, we were asked to come up with an idea due to a client’s request in Iran. In spite of his tendency to have a simple canopy for the house’s pool, the procedure of designing turned out as the presented project. Not only we tried to engage his demands into the design process, but also, simultaneously, a whopping properties were taken into account to reach its sophistication. The positivie attitude of our client, gave us a chance to enlist some significant issues in architecture such as sustainability, simpilicity and environmental compatibility in the project.
