The brief
Cover the deck. Keep the outlook.
This Mt Maunganui project adds overhead cover to a first-floor deck on a contemporary dark-clad home. The box-perimeter frame gives the structure a strong architectural edge, while opal acrylic was selected in response to the brief for daylight and glare.
The design
An edge that follows the house.
The dark box perimeter follows the cladding and joinery of the home. Above the deck, opal acrylic roofing falls at five degrees to a hip junction at the outer end, following the deck geometry while keeping the outlook through the glass balustrade.
The completed project
The details.
A powder-coated aluminium box perimeter with 6 mm opal acrylic roofing and a hipped outer end.
