Residential solution

A garden you can enjoy beyond perfect weather.

The patio is too hot at noon, exposed when it rains and uncomfortable when wind arrives. The goal is a flexible family space—not a dark permanent extension.

The challenge
A beautiful patio that only works for a few hours on a few days.

What needs to be solved?

The family wants shade for lunch, daylight in cooler weather, shelter from passing rain, less crosswind and enough privacy from neighboring properties. The structure must still feel open and visually compatible with the home.

BEFORE · EXPOSED RESIDENTIAL PATIO
01 · PROBLEM
Sun, rain and wind reduce daily use

The terrace cannot adapt as conditions change.

  • Strong midday sun and heat
  • Furniture exposed to sudden showers
  • Cool wind from one or two sides
  • Limited privacy during family use
DESIGN · LOUVER OR SUNROOM DECISION
02 · DESIGN GOAL
Keep the space bright, open and flexible

Control the environment without losing the garden.

An adjustable outdoor room is preferred when open-air use remains important. A more enclosed sunroom is considered when wind protection and extended seasonal use have higher priority.

Recommended combination

Motorized louvered pergola with selective side protection.

The adjustable aluminum roof manages sun, ventilation and light rain. Side elements are added only where the site needs them, keeping the remaining views open.
