You would be forgiven for thinking you were standing in the courtyard of a home in Tuscany. This beautifully crafted stone and terracotta home in Rose Bay was lovingly designed and built and has its own green wall oasis courtyard and olive grove.

The heat of the midday sun was an issue and a discrete solution was required that was sympathetic to the architecture. The Markilux 6000 Uber Cocoon fully enclosed cassette folding arm awning melded perfectly and enhanced the comfort of the courtyard without imposing on its ambience.
