Let’s walk you through the area
Watch the video as Adrian walks you through the finished construction & talks you through the project.
We commenced with the drafting of plans then lodgement of a Development Application to Hornsby Shire Council, taking care of the required paperwork & approvals for our client.
The area is shaped long & rectangular, running from one end of the house so it has been designed to incorporate three distinct areas, each blended into each other seamlessly. The basis of the original design has been built upon to incorporate the three areas although we’ve attached the rear off the house fascia rather than sitting above the existing roof line which was an option, however we decided that combined with the louvers & gabled sections it would still have adequate height.
Starting on the right hand side we essentially have a casual seating area, perfect for coffee or reading the Sunday morning papers. Covering this section is a single bay of louvered or opening/closing patio cover which gives flexibility to the area – the owners can adjust the louvers to suit the weather. Open them right up in Winter & let the warm sun pour in or adjust for Summer so you get the shade but also let the hot air escape.
The middle section is the main or formal outdoor entertaining which sees a large, traditional gable. This has been covered with an insulated roofing sheet & combined with ‘nature lites’ which are strips inserted into the roofing sheet to let in natural light. The best way we describe it is its like having a fluro light on during the day – which enables some soft light to enter without the hot Summer sun.
Lastly, the insulated roofing has been extended into the left hand side flat section which covers the custom outdoor fire place that also includes a wall mounted TV unit. This is a more casual or informal area – suitable for having a few beers whilst watching your favourite sport.
”Adrian and his team William, Adam and Ben were fantastic. Mario and I are thrilled with our patio roof. Adrian provided great advice and William, Adam and Ben were the best tradies I have ever had onsite. They were polite, considerate and a hard working team; cleaning up after every day and taking rubbish away with them. I highly recommend Patioland Thornleigh to anyone considering a new roof for their deck, pergola or patio.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Thank you #Patioland
