Old and new in harmony

Old and new in harmony

A client had been looking for a long time for a suitable sun protection solution for an outdoor patio for her home in the Bavarian Alpine foothills. She found a modern slatted roof that stylishly accentuates her terrace and protects it from sun, wind and rain. With the tuff stone house built in 1823, a lifelong dream came true. It was completely renovated with a lot of dedication. The renovated old building offers 217 square meters of living space on two floors, combining the historical ambience with contemporary comfort. The south facade of the house faces the equally lovingly designed garden, which extends behind the two sun terraces with a rose arch in the middle.

Well thought-out weather protection concept

“The search for a durable, high-quality and visually attractive sun protection solution for the terrace was more difficult than expected,” says the client. What was particularly important to her was the pleasant quality of the stay, even in changeable weather, as well as good protection for the high-quality outdoor lounge furniture. A private tip made her aware of the Lamaxa slatted roof. At a specialist retailer, she examined the model herself down to the last detail and received detailed advice about product variants. “I immediately liked the well-thought-out concept, especially the rotating slats that can be opened when the sun is shining and closed when it rains,” says the homeowner. “What really convinced me was that I could choose the colors of the slatted roof individually.” This meant that her wish to use the same pale green RAL color as the shutters on her house had already been painted was easily realized. "Fusing the straight-lined, rather technical construction of the slatted roof and the time-honored house walls into a common look cost me many sleepless nights. Such a contrast can be very exciting, but the colors have to match exactly," says the architecture lover. (gw)
