Middle East Rooftop Glass Dome Sunroom Project
PRANCE completed a project of a movable glass dome sunroom on the rooftop of a building in the Middle East. The system provides a full-glass dome that glides smoothly along its track, giving the rooftop flexible usage. The glass dome brings in abundant natural light, becomes a visually striking architectural feature, and allows the rooftop to adapt to different functional needs while maintaining stability, ease of use, and long-term performance.

1. Structural Advantages: Stability for Rooftop Applications
Lightweight but robust design
Glass panels with a metal frame provide sufficient strength and safety while keeping the overall weight manageable, reducing the load on the rooftop structure.
Durable for long-term rooftop use
The structural design accounts for wind loads and environmental stresses, ensuring the dome maintains its stability and integrity throughout long-term rooftop installation.
2. Movable Design: Flexible Use of Rooftop Space
Enhanced space flexibility on the rooftop
Unlike traditional fixed glass domes, this system can move as a whole across the rooftop structure. This mobility avoids the functional constraints of a permanently fixed dome and allows the rooftop layout to adapt to different usage scenarios.
Smooth and Reliable Movement
The movable glass dome glides smoothly along its track, allowing the entire structure to shift effortlessly across the rooftop. This seamless mobility enables users to adjust the space as needed, enhancing the rooftop’s functional flexibility and maximizing usable area without compromising the dome’s stability or visual presence.
3. Daylighting and Aesthetic Advantages
Bright and Airy Environment
The glass surface allows sunlight to penetrate the dome sunroom's interior, improving indoor brightness while preserving a sense of openness and transparency.
Distinctive architectural feature
The glass dome creates a distinctive feature on the roof, providing a unique visual effect. Its curved form and transparent surface seamlessly integrate with the building structure, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the roof.
4. Weather-Resistant Performance for Middle East Conditions
Heat and sunlight resistance
The dome sunroom can withstand strong sunlight, high temperatures, wind, and dust. Its design prevents structural distortion from thermal expansion and contraction while shielding the interior from external elements.
Maintaining indoor comfort
Also, the dome sunroom works with HVAC and ventilation systems to create a controlled and comfortable environment inside. This ensures a pleasant rooftop experience even under different weather conditions.
