Make it your starting point
A 6 × 3 m gable.
Adapted to your home.
Start with this project’s roof shape and footprint, then adjust the design for your own space.
The designer uses standard acrylic and a standard end frame. It does not reproduce this project’s opal tint, custom end-frame pattern or 2.7 m height. House attachment, ridge direction and height start from model defaults for you to discuss with us.
Start with this roof shape and size01 / The brief
Designed for this place.
Extend the roofline while giving the street-facing gable end an intentional architectural pattern.
The clients wanted to extend their roofline with a gable shape and add a custom aluminium framing pattern to the gable end so the pergola would look intentional from the street.
We set out a 6 m by 3 m cover at 2.7 m height, selecting opal acrylic roofing in response to the brief for daylight and glare. The bespoke aluminium pattern gives the open, street-facing gable end a clear identity.
