By Locarno Louvres
Positioned on a private secluded setting on the edge of Lake Hayes, the design of the outdoor living spaces was an integral consideration of the design of this house. The outdoor room opens to the north and incorporates areas for lounging and dining. The outdoor fireplace along with the ability to open and close the motorised overhead louvres and the manually operable shutters enables the space to be used year round.

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.
