Chengdu’s iconic Louis Castle, renowned as China’s largest complex of French-style architecture, has elevated its guest experience to new heights. This grand commercial hub—encompassing a hotel, wedding services, exhibitions, and dining—now features a breathtaking and highly functional outdoor wedding and restaurant space, thanks to a monumental engineering feat by Sunrim. The centerpiece is a colossal **30-meter long, 13-meter span, and 5.5-meter high retractable solarium, a transformative structure that seamlessly blends architectural elegance with unparalleled flexibility.

This isn’t just a sunroom; it’s a multi-functional event hall without walls, designed to operate flawlessly in any season, significantly boosting the venue’s revenue and appeal.

Engineering Marvel: The Specifications of a Giant

The scale of this solarium is a testament to Sunrim’s expertise in large-scale movable structures. The sheer dimensions—30m in length, 13m in width, and 5.5m in height—create a vast, column-free space ideal for large gatherings. The structure is ingeniously divided into six independent sections, which operate in a bi-parting manner (opening from the center). This design allows for:

Operational Flexibility:The roof can be fully opened to the sky, partially opened for ventilation, or completely closed for protection, all at the touch of a button.
Dramatic Effect: The synchronized movement of the six massive sections creates a stunning visual spectacle, perfectly suited for wedding ceremonies and grand events.

Unlocking Year-Round Revenue: From Weddings to Daily Dining

The primary achievement of this solarium is its ability to make a previously weather-dependent space into a all-weather, profit-generating asset.

The Ultimate Wedding and Event Venue: The space provides a magical, open-air ambiance for summer weddings and can be transformed into a warm, enclosed, and radiant sanctuary for winter celebrations. It has become a premier choice for couples, hosting everything from simple, intimate weddings to lavish parties.

An All-Season Restaurant:Beyond special events, the solarium serves as a unique dining area for the hotel’s daily operations. Patrons can enjoy meals bathed in warm sunlight during winter, protected from the elements on rainy days, or experience open-air dining on perfect evenings. This “climate-proof” guarantee has made it a highly sought-after destination, directly increasing the hotel’s F&B revenue.

Integrated Comfort Systems: Light and Shade

To complement the retractable structure, Sunrim integrated advanced systems to ensure perfect comfort and ambiance:

Motorized Shading: An intelligent electric shade system provides instant protection from solar glare and heat, allowing for soft, diffused light ideal for any time of day.
Custom Lighting System:A professionally designed LED lighting system ensures the space remains vibrant and inviting after sunset, enabling evening receptions and dinners with a captivating atmosphere.

A Proven Solution for Large-Scale Applications

The success at Louis Castle demonstrates that Sunrim’s large-scale retractable solarium technology is not limited to event spaces. The same engineering principles can be applied to transform other premium amenities, most notably:

Outdoor Swimming Pools: A structure of this scale can effortlessly cover a large outdoor pool, transforming it into a year-round aquatic facility. It allows for swimming in the warmth of a winter day or enjoying a cool, shaded dip in the summer, completely free from weather constraints, thereby maximizing the utility and return on investment of the pool asset.

The resounding success at Louis Castle has earned Sunrim significant acclaim and stands as a powerful case study in how innovative architecture can drive commercial success. By mastering the fusion of grand design, robust engineering, and smart technology, Sunrim continues to redefine the boundaries between indoor comfort and the great outdoors.
