TENTHOUSES

CapCabin, an innovative company located in the picturesque Odoorn in the province of Drenthe in the Netherlands, has developed a remarkable concept: sustainable Tenthouses with a contemporary design for the recreational market. These Tenthouses are more than just accommodations; they are fully insulated, equipped with triple glazing, and furnished with a complete kitchen and bathroom. Additionally, they feature a charming veranda, all covered under a sturdy tent canvas.

What truly sets these Tenthouses apart is the fact that they were constructed while still in the design and engineering phase. This is where Tentech came into play. We assisted the company by providing engineering expertise and working on the realization of the membrane structure for both the 2-person and 5-person Tenthouses. We not only created the cutting patterns but also performed the main calculations and were responsible for the detailed development of the 2-person Tenthouse.

Thanks to this collaboration between CapCabin and Tentech, these Tenthouses are not only sustainable and modern but also technically advanced and aesthetically appealing. They offer a unique experience for anyone seeking a comfortable stay in nature and contribute to a more environmentally friendly approach to recreation.

Textile architecture projects

The covering of a courtyard, canopies or stadiums… Tentech is part of the building team when textile and complex geometric shapes are used in new or existing architecture. Often we are responsible for a specific part of the design. In dialogue with the architect, contractor and client, we achieve an optimal contribution.

The design…

Our designs are characterized by sculptural quality and clean detailing, along with requirements of the location and usage of the structure. Combined they result into strong architectural concepts, in which aesthetics goes hand in hand with safe usage.

…and more

Our work doesn’t end with the realization of the technical design. We focus on all aspects of the design and production process that have an impact on textile architecture. Therefore, we are involved with all phases of the design process: from project definition, composition and preliminary design to the technical design, quotation, workshop drawings and maintenance. Supervising production, translating design into tailor made cutting patterns and connections, and assistance in the search and selection of the right market participants, are also part of our services. In our view, this is part of ‘modern craftsmanship’.
