How We Met the Brief

The client wanted two distinct yet connected spaces — one for preparing and cooking meals, the other for relaxed dining — both designed for full weather protection and year-round use.

We installed two premium aluminium pergolas, each with rotating louvred roofs, allowing full control over sunlight, shade, and ventilation. The bespoke leg design ensured a perfect fit over dwarf walls and integrated planters, blending seamlessly with the landscaped garden.

The kitchen pergola was purpose-built to accommodate a commercial-grade pizza oven, double sink, fridge, and continuous porcelain worktop, all with concealed electrical and drainage connections for a clean, streamlined look.

The dining pergola was designed as a comfortable, sheltered space, complete with automated screens, heating, and flexible lighting for day or night use.

The Result

The completed installation delivers a cohesive indoor-outdoor experience, offering shelter from wind and rain while retaining an open-air feel when desired. Whether hosting large gatherings or enjoying a quiet evening meal, the client can now enjoy a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and comfortable dining space in any weather.
