Every project
has a story.

A long run of covered seating along the water, with fans and a wood-grain ceiling overhead and louvers that shut when the squall comes through.

White louvers and warm string lighting turn an arched courtyard into a room that works after dark as well as it does at lunch.

Mounted off the second storey and cantilevered over the deck below, so the upstairs living space gets shade without losing the rail line.

A freestanding frame set out in the yard rather than tied to the house, giving the lounge and dining a room of its own.

Black frame against white louvers, over the grill and the deck seating. Closed, it keeps the cook and the food dry.

A narrow side yard turned into usable seating, with the frame tucked in tight against the wall.

Straight off the back of the house over the existing slab, sized so the dining table and the grill both sit under cover.

White louvers closed over a lit porch, holding the heat off the glass and the rain off the furniture.

Built to work with the existing screen enclosure rather than fight it, putting solid shade over the spa end of the deck.

A fixed frame over the pool patio. Nothing to power and nothing to service, just shade that moves with the sun.

Set against the back of the house with planting brought right up to the posts, so it reads as part of the garden rather than an addition.

Thatch on the outside and a motorized louvered aluminum roof underneath, set out on the pool deck so the seating keeps its shade and the water keeps its sun.

A full lounge set under one tiki frame beside the rock waterfall, with the louvers open to the breeze and ready to shut when the weather turns.
