Yoga Dome

Festival

10 metre diameter hemisphere dome for a Yoga studio.

Custom cover

Challenge

Design the elevated platform to suit the 20 sided dome base, so that the dome canopy overlaps the platform to facilitate water run off.

Design a custom canopy with Ferrari 502 ‘Vanilla’ colour, clear vinyl ‘window’ and clear circular portholes.

Build the dome frame exactly onto the prepared deck and haul over the cover.

Solution

Fabric Solutions expertly manufactured the one piece cover, with extra fabric in place for the custom made door.

The dome frame was built and bolted down onto the prepared deck (which had a perimeter of joists to screw into.)

A team of ten men were needed to haul the canopy over the frame.  Several pulling on an attached rope, with others on outside and inside of the frame ensuring the canopy did not get snagged.

Setup and execution

An air conditioning unit was installed under the raised platform. Vents up through the plywood flooring keep the dome nice and cool in the sub-tropical climate.

A pre-loved stained glass door was custom-fitted into the dome frame and flashed with extra main canopy fabric.
