Architecture 360 Lab

V-LITE 3D Studio

Explore architectural roof structures in 360°

Rotate, zoom and compare translucent roof concepts engineered for polycarbonate applications. Every scene is an original V-LITE visualization.

Interactive structure library

Select a roof form, rotate it freely, switch camera angles and compare polycarbonate finishes. The studio is designed to explain how translucent roofing systems can look before detailed engineering.

Barrel Vault Canopy

A continuous curved daylight roof supported by repeated steel ribs. The form sheds water efficiently and creates a light, open enclosure for long covered spaces.

StructureCurved rib / barrel vault
Typical useWalkways, atriums, loading areas
Span classMedium to long span
Suggested skinMultiwall or solid polycarbonate
Reference note: The Naver article blocks automated extraction of its original images. This studio therefore uses original V-LITE 3D geometry inspired by common architectural daylight-roof systems rather than copying those photographs.

What these roof forms are

Each geometry solves a different combination of span, drainage, daylight, weather protection and architectural expression.

01

Barrel vault

A continuous curved roof made from repeated ribs. The arch distributes loads efficiently and works well for long covered spaces.

02

Ridge skylight

A symmetrical double-slope translucent roof that creates a familiar pitched silhouette with daylight from both sides.

03

Mono-pitch roof

A single inclined plane that simplifies drainage and is practical for industrial buildings and lean-to extensions.

04

Arched entrance canopy

A compact curved frame for entrances, drop-offs and pedestrian zones, typically using transparent compact polycarbonate.

05

Tunnel walkway

A semi-cylindrical protected passage that keeps pedestrian routes bright while shielding them from rain and direct weather exposure.

06

Sawtooth roof

A repeating factory roof profile designed to admit controlled daylight deep into production and workshop interiors.

07

Butterfly roof

Two planes fall toward a central valley, creating a contemporary form and a natural rainwater collection line.

08

Curved pavilion

A free-standing architectural canopy for courtyards, public spaces and waiting areas where openness and weather cover are both required.

Turn a roof idea into a V-LITE daylighting concept.

Share the span, application and preferred sheet type. The V-LITE team can help align the polycarbonate solution with the structural concept.
