Detalhes da Solução

In the heart of Suzhou’s industrial landscape, Rhein Suzhou’s employees now have a stunning new retreat—a rooftop garden that seamlessly blends open-air freshness with enclosed comfort. Sunrim Company, a specialist in innovative architectural solutions, was commissioned to transform this corporate space into a versatile area for coffee breaks and relaxation. The centerpiece of this project is a cutting-edge, wall-mounted, retractable solarium, a technological marvel that redefines the potential of rooftop spaces.

While the rooftop features a dedicated garden area, the majority of the space is occupied by Sunrim’s signature solarium. This is not a conventional fixed structure; its design and functionality are driven by several key technical features that prioritize flexibility, space optimization, and user experience.

1. The Wall-Mounted Advantage: Space Efficiency and Structural Integration

Unlike traditional freestanding conservatories, this solarium is designed as a wall-mounted system. This approach offers significant benefits:

Maximized Usable Space:By utilizing the existing building wall as a primary support, the structure projects outward, freeing up the valuable rooftop floor area. This creates a more open and spacious feel inside, perfect for arranging furniture and facilitating movement.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Transition:The solarium acts as a direct extension of the interior office space. When fully opened, it erases the boundary between inside and outside, creating a fluid transition to the adjacent garden and the city views beyond.
Robust and Stable Structure: Anchoring the system to the main building’s wall provides inherent strength and stability, capable of withstanding local weather conditions without the need for bulky support frames that obstruct views.

2. Fully Retractable Design: Ultimate Environmental Control

The core of Sunrim’s innovation lies in the solarium’s fully retractable roof and wall panels. This system provides unparalleled control over the environment:

Open-Air Freedom:With the push of a button, the entire roof and front glazing can slide away, transforming the enclosed space into a classic, breezy veranda. This allows employees to fully enjoy fine weather, natural sunlight, and direct access to the open sky.
All-Weather Enclosure: When conditions change—be it rain, intense sun, or cold winds—the panels can be smoothly closed to create a fully insulated and weatherproof room. This ensures the space is usable and comfortable 365 days a year.
Customizable Ventilation:The system allows for partial opening, enabling precise control over ventilation and temperature, promoting a comfortable microclimate without relying entirely on mechanical systems.

3. Integrated Smart Systems: Seamless Comfort and Ambiance

Understanding the need for a holistic experience, Sunrim integrated advanced electric systems directly into the solarium structure:

Motorized Shading:An integrated electric shade system is fitted within the roof structure. It provides instant protection from glare and solar heat gain, allowing for a soft, diffused light ideal for relaxation and reading, even on the brightest days.
Built-In Lighting:A custom LED lighting system is discreetly installed to complement the solarium. It provides perfect illumination for evening gatherings, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere long after the sun has set. The lighting can be adjusted for different moods and occasions.

Conclusion: A New Paradigm for Corporate Leisure

The rooftop project at Rhein Suzhou is more than just a garden or a sunroom. It is a demonstration of how intelligent design and advanced engineering can unlock the full potential of underutilized urban spaces. Sunrim’s wall-mounted, retractable solarium** stands as the key enabling technology—a flexible, elegant, and highly functional shell that provides a perfect sanctuary for employees to recharge and connect.

It is a testament to a future where architecture moves, adapts, and harmonizes with our desire for both comfort and nature.
