Y-Shaped Membrane Carport at a State-Owned Enterprise in Qibin, Hebi

Qingsong arranged this Y-shaped membrane carport at a state-owned enterprise in Qibin District, Hebi, around an existing parking area. A pale roof covers red paving and white bay markings, with existing trees retained nearby. Vehicles beneath the canopy and a localized opening in the membrane around a tree are distinctive features of the site.

A two-sided roof above the parking bays

The pale roof extends to both sides, supported by members arranged along the parking area, with vehicles visible below. White bay markings and turning lines on the red surface define parking positions, while trees and planting remain around the site.

A roof opening around an existing tree

An existing tree stands within the canopy footprint. An opening is left in the membrane above the trunk, with framing and supports around it. Ropes and a work platform remain nearby. The opening and branching tree form a localized part of the arrangement during construction.

Defining coverage within an existing site

The end of the canopy sits beside planting, with tree crowns close to the pale membrane. When adding a canopy to an existing parking area, bay markings, tree trunks, planters and roads can be mapped first. Areas where trees are retained also require checks of member clearances, space for growth and maintenance needs.

Site surveys for canopies added to existing parking areas should include the positions of parking bays, roads and existing trees.
