By Locarno Louvres
A free standing louvred pergola with a local schist stone fireplace creates a warm and inviting outdoor space in this home close to Arrowtown
When closed, the overhead louvres help retain the warmth from the wood burning fire extending the use of the space into the cooler evenings and seasons.
Product: Locarno RL200 double bay louvre system
Structure: 200x100 RHS steel frame and posts
Finish: Matt black powdercoat finish
Architect: Hilton Miller (previously of Warren and Mahoney)

Architectural details:
The pergola is a free standing structure with a separation to the building. This retains the architectural integrity of the existing living pavilion while creating a separate defined space for outdoor living.
Both the mid beam of the steel structure and the timber strip in the concrete patio are centred on the wood burning schist fireplace at one end of the pergola.
Locarno Louvres is a design led company, offering architects and designers a wide range of louvre systems for outdoor living.
Locarno’s louvre roof systems offer the perfect solution for creating sheltered outdoor rooms. These may be enclosed with manually adjustable louvred screens and sliding shutters.
Established in 2004, Locarno Louvres has developed its proprietary systems and designs to withstand the extremes of climate across New Zealand.
Our ethos is a design philosophy adopting clean lines and this is represented in the rectilinear forms of our louvre profiles and in every detail of our systems.
Our team works with architects, designers, builders and clients to create individualized designs and see this through to the final installation.
The difference is in the detail.
