A uniform look: awning. Garden. House.
Modern architecture thrives on clear forms and often light façade colours. Windows, doors and balcony railings like to create exciting contrasts with dark colours. The owners of a villa in the north of Hamburg wanted to preserve this elegant, simple style even after the fixture of solar protection on their house. They opted for markilux awnings, which blended harmoniously into the look of the building.
Anyone who enjoys spending the summer outdoors should invest in good solar protection. It keeps the heat out and prevents heat from entering the house. Depending on the features, it can also protect against blinding light, cold and rain. It is also desirable that its appearance matches the architecture. A modern urban villa in the north of Hamburg shows how this can be achieved. The owners had the villa fitted with three new markilux awnings, which skilfully blend in with its architectural style.
Solar protection from the roof to the garden
A harmonious façade design was important to the owners. The awnings therefore pick up on the light wall colour and the dark tones of the windows and balcony railings. To achieve this, the powder-coated frame colours in an elegant black shade were combined with white awning covers. Firstly, an existing drop-arm awning on the top floor was given a new awning cover. In addition, the balcony on the floor below was fitted with a pergola awning with the "shadeplus" function. The solar-controlled additional awning provides protection against glare from the low sun. The large "pergola stretch" awning was chosen for the terrace on the ground floor. And for an idyllic seating area in the garden, located directly on the Alster, a free-standing solution was chosen. The markilux syncra awning stand was combined with the markilux pergola classic to create a sheltered area away from the house.
Inviting outdoor living room
With the new sun and all-weather protection, the façade and interior of the villa are well protected from the heat. It also allows the living space to be opened up invitingly to the outside in the summer months. The balcony, terrace and outdoor seating area by the water, as well as the garden furniture, are now less exposed to the weather. Residents can now spend a lot of time outdoors on several levels of the house in pleasant temperatures and a cosy atmosphere.
Added value and advantages of the sun shading solution
The markilux pergola stretch and pergola classic pergola awnings
This reference shows just how versatile markilux pergola awnings are. Whether on the balcony, as a canopy over the patio adjoining the house and garden, or away from the building on the banks of the river flowing behind the garden: the various markilux pergola models offer optimum UV-protection exactly where it is needed.
The markilux syncra awning stand
The rear part of the garden is predestined for another patio: secluded, with a view of the water and nature. In order not to have to do without the protection of an awning in such places, markilux has developed the markilux syncra awning stand system. It can be firmly anchored to the ground or installed with ballast boxes. Combined with a markilux folding-arm awning or pergola, the patio becomes a favourite shady spot. The wide range of possible combinations gives you maximum flexibility.
The markilux 730 drop-arm awning
The markilux 730 drop-arm awning provides effective anti-glare protection for windows while creating a pleasant atmosphere indoors. As can be seen in our reference in Hamburg, it provides a harmonious addition to the pergola awning and reliably protects against the sun and prying eyes. This vertical blind combines elegant design with functional extra privacy at the window, ideal for modern architecture. Thanks to the slanted extension of the arms, the view outside is maintained while the interior remains pleasantly cool. Perfect for stylish solar protection with a view.
