Parametric Curved Pergola SketchUp Model – Modern Outdoor Tunnel Structure (Free)

This free parametric curved pergola SketchUp model features a flowing rib-based structural system designed to create a modern architectural tunnel effect for outdoor spaces. The repeating curved frames generate rhythm, depth, and strong visual movement, making the structure ideal for landscape architecture, public spaces, exhibition pathways, and modern outdoor environments.

Its modular parametric form creates a futuristic and elegant spatial experience while remaining lightweight and easy to customize for different project scales.

Design Concept

The design focuses on rhythm, repetition, and fluid architectural geometry.

• Repeating parametric structural ribs

• Smooth curved tunnel composition

• Modern lightweight outdoor structure

• Strong architectural depth and visual flow

This type of pergola structure is commonly used in contemporary landscape architecture and urban public space design to create immersive outdoor experiences.

Use Cases

This SketchUp model is suitable for:

• Public parks and garden pathways

• Landscape architecture projects

• Outdoor exhibition spaces
