New Zealanders love outdoor living so what consideration is given to this when clients work with an architect? To find out we asked architectural designer and director, Peter Davis of AD Architecture.
Peter explained that clients have always asked for indoor outdoor flow in their designs, so these days he often specifies a Bask® louvre roof in his design for their versatility in outdoor areas. “I envisage clients having guests arriving for a 4pm summer BBQ and the louvre roof providing shelter from any rain or wind that may arrive later in the evening,” says Peter.
Peter likes to keep abreast of new products and trends, so he can offer his clients the best in design solutions. AD Architects have the advantage of an onsite product showroom as they are adjacent to the Smarter Building Centre (Paraparaumu), which includes a full size Bask® louvre roof. “It is great for the clients to have a look at, along with a chance to try out opening and closing the louvre roof and the drop down screens,” explains Peter.
Some clients like to have the louvre roof integrated into a prebuilt patio or roof in the outdoor living area, but that is dependent on their budget. Although not everyone wants a louvre roof, Peter likes to offer the option of a Bask roof as he believes it is a simple and smart solution for client’s outdoor living spaces. "This is particularly useful for clients that have set design ideas, but may not even be aware of products now available on the market,” confirmed Peter
Open or closed the Bask® louvre roof is a stunning outdoor living solution.
