Douglas | Outdoor & Textile InnovationTHE PROJECT
What began as a simple umbrella installation for the poolside quickly evolved into a comprehensive shading solution for our clients, involving both a retractable awning for the upper storey deck and a high-quality umbrella.
THE UMBRELLA
For the poolside area, the clients sought a sturdy, cantilever umbrella that could rotate to provide flexible shade throughout the day, ensuring maximum comfort during warm summer evenings.
THE AWNING
The clients needed a way to maximize the enjoyment of their north-facing upper storey deck, which was often too hot to use during the summer months. They wanted an integrated sunshade solution that would seamlessly blend with their high-end architectural property, without detracting from the stunning views.
THE DOUGLAS INNOVATION SOLUTION
We knew that a Shade7 Riviera Umbrella and Llaza Modulbox retractable awning would be the perfect solution for our clients. The RECacril canvas in Charcoal Tweed was customized for both the awning and umbrella, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic throughout the property.
THE FABRIC
RECacril canvases offer high levels of UV protection, with Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of up to +80. The fabric also has a unique finishing that offers awesome repellency to water and dirt, dimensional stability, and durable colour strength over the life of the product.
THE PRODUCTS
The Shade7 Riviera Umbrella is an unparalleled cantilever – hugely strong and so versatile with tilt and a full 360° rotation.
A Llaza Modulbox retractable awning was ideal for the upper storey deck, as it could be extended when needed and retracted when not in use. Bracket fixing to an exposed parapet required careful planning. Our client dug out some photos of the 1983 build, providing details most are not usually lucky enough to have on hand!
THE INSTALL
Installing the 5-meter-long awning was a challenge due to its weight and the accessible balcony, but our team successfully hoisted and secured it to the parapet. To ensure the awning remained protected from the elements, a fully enclosed cassette was used, which also allowed it to blend seamlessly with the home’s architectural lines when retracted.
All work was completed to WorkSafe requirements, including Working at Heights. The Douglas team also has a SiteWise Green accreditation for Health & Safety onsite.
This was a fun installation for our team and it was a huge compliment to be invited to do both the umbrella and the deck awning to match.
European-designed, Llaza awnings offer the expertise from a part of the world that does awnings like no other.

MAJ DÉCORATIONL’achat de cet appartement a été conditionné par l’aménagement du balcon. En effet, situé au cœur d’un nouveau quartier actif, le vis à vis était le principal défaut.
OBJECTIFS :
Limiter le vis à vis
Apporter de la végétation
Avoir un espace détente et un espace repas
Créer des rangements pour le petit outillage de jardin et les appareils électriques type plancha et friteuse
Sécuriser les aménagements pour le chat (qu’il ne puisse pas sauter sur les rebords du garde corps).
Pour cela, des aménagements en bois sur mesure ont été imaginés, le tout en DIY. Sur un côté, une jardinière a été créée pour y intégrer des bambous. Sur la longueur, un banc 3 en 1 (banc/jardinière/rangements) a été réalisé. Son dossier a été conçu comme une jardinière dans laquelle des treillis ont été insérés afin d’y intégrer des plantes grimpantes qui limitent le vis à vis de manière naturelle. Une table pliante est rangée sur un des côtés afin de pouvoir l’utiliser pour les repas en extérieur. Sur l’autre côté, un meuble en bois a été créé. Il sert de « coffrage » à un meuble d’extérieur de rangement étanche (le balcon n’étant pas couvert) et acheté dans le commerce pour l’intégrer parfaitement dans le décor.
De l’éclairage d’appoint a aussi été intégré dans le bois des jardinières de bambous et du meuble de rangement en supplément de l’éclairage général (insuffisant) prévu à la construction de la résidence.
Enfin, un gazon synthétique vient apporter la touche finale de verdure.
Ainsi, ce balcon est devenu un cocon végétalisé urbain où il est bon de se détendre et de profiter des beaux jours !
