Philippines Dome Sunroom Project

PRANCE provided transparent oval dome sunrooms and classic dome sunrooms for the terrace of Alta D' Tagaytay Hotel, surrounded by lush greenery in the Philippines. These dome structures create a unique retreat space that offers guests unobstructed panoramic views of the natural environment while providing shelter and comfort throughout the year.

Nestled in a lush, coastal region of the Philippines, PRANCE's dome sunrooms are purpose-built to handle the dual challenges of dense greenery and seaside humidity. These structures offer outstanding thermal insulation and strong UV protection, effectively minimizing solar heat gain even under intense tropical sun. To further enhance comfort, air conditioning is integrated into the design, ensuring a cool and livable indoor environment year-round.

Exposed to both mountain humidity and salty sea air, the domes are constructed using corrosion-resistant aluminum framing and high-performance weatherproof seals. This robust system enables the structure to withstand heavy rains, sudden coastal storms, and long-term exposure to moisture and salt-laden air. As a result, the domes maintain their integrity and function over time, ensuring reliable, all-weather durability in challenging tropical environments.

Each dome is equipped with a motorized lift sunroof that opens smoothly at the touch of a button. This feature not only enhances ventilation by allowing fresh air to circulate throughout the interior but also incorporates a mosquito-repellent mesh cover when raised. This thoughtful design balances comfort and practicality, offering natural airflow while preventing insects from entering the space—essential in a humid forest environment.

PRANCE's modular design approach makes it easy to adapt dome units to various rooftop sizes and layout requirements. The domes can be combined or spaced apart to suit different functions, whether for intimate lounges, alfresco dining, or quiet retreat areas. Their flexible configuration options make them suitable for both individual enjoyment and group activities.

The transparent geodesic structure provides full 360° visibility, allowing uninterrupted views of the treetops, distant hills, and open sky. The clean, minimal aesthetic of the dome architecture complements the surrounding landscape without overpowering it, fostering harmony between built structure and nature. The result is an immersive and peaceful experience that strengthens the resort's connection to its environment.

With prefabricated components, PRANCE's dome structures are easy to transport and assemble directly on the rooftop. The quick, low-impact installation process is ideal for active resort settings, where minimizing noise and disruption is key to maintaining a relaxing atmosphere for guests. This streamlined approach also helps keep the project on schedule and reduces the need for extended on-site labor.
