01 · Architectural fit

A light structure that extends the architecture.

The dark aluminum frame picks up the residence’s windows, doors and railings. Its restrained geometry gives the terrace definition without competing with the light cladding or surrounding landscape.

The pergola reads as part of the architectural composition while keeping a clear visual relationship between the interior, deck and garden.

The retractable screen is shown lowered across the adjacent covered terrace opening.

02 · Flexible shade

Open above. Flexible at the edge.

The louvered roof establishes a clean overhead plane while the terrace remains open to the garden. Integrated lighting supports use as daylight fades.

At the adjacent covered opening, the retractable fabric screen can create a softer, more private edge when lowered and return the terrace to an open connection when retracted.

03 · Complete outdoor composition

Two systems. One outdoor composition.

The louvered pergola, retractable screen, exterior lighting and deck interfaces are shown as one architectural composition across the rear elevation.

  • Dark aluminum structure aligned with exterior trim
  • Louvered overhead plane with integrated lighting
  • Retractable fabric screen at the adjacent opening
  • Continuous connection between interior, deck and garden
