IASO project in Zarautz
IGERAIN GAIN PARK
Zarautz
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

At the request of the neighbours, the city council of Zarautz has promoted the remodelling of the park IGERAIN GAIN, with the final objective being the installation of a whole new covering over the playground, thus protecting it from inclement weather. 

To this end, a tensioned PVC canvas painted on the inside has been installed, and an ETFE enclosure on the north façade to protect the area from wind and lateral rain.

The tensioned PVC canvas is fixed to the perimeter and to the portal frames, adapting to the particular shape of the structure. Moreover, thanks to the anchoring system used, rainwater is collected by the structure just as the architect intended.

The great novelty of this tensioned canvas is the graphic design on its inner face, with large polka dots approximately 2.5 m in diameter in various colours. This demonstrates the versatility and possibilities offered by this type of membrane.

The transparent single-layer ETFE enclosure with stainless steel cables protects the park from wind and sideways rain, without blocking light from entering the park and adapting perfectly to the curved shape of the structure.
