Retractable Roof Ensures Year-Round Outdoor Living for Wanaka Home

Clever planning of an internal courtyard allows the owners to enjoy these views when barbecueing, or basking in front of the open fire. This space has quickly become the much-loved heart of the home by providing shelter from the prevailing winds and blurring the line between indoors and out to create genuine 'year-round outdoor living'.

"The retractable Louvretec roof and large sliding doors were used specifically to create a sheltered 'outdoor room' that can be enjoyed comfortably by our clients year-round, even during the seasonal extremes of Wanaka's alpine climate," says Matt Jeffery from Johnston Architects.

Whether an extension or part of a new build, Louvretec Opening & Retractable roofs open up to the beauty of the outdoors and provide an additional living space to inspire and attract.
