Enjoy your outdoor space, more of the time. This an ethos we advocate at Aalta. We believe outdoor spaces are important and should be utilised as a living space as much as possible. Here we have four photographs from a recent job we installed in Rozelle, a suburb of Sydney’s Inner West. When we dropped around to photograph the job, our friendly client informed us that she had been able to use the space a lot more since the Patio Awning was installed. We were shown upstairs to the west facing balcony and quickly uncovered what she had done. First, we saw the outdoor dining table with Cyclamen flowers glowing pink in the centre of the setting. Different plants and herbs were spaced around the balcony and a citrus tree was humbly dwelling over in the corner. There were tasteful ornamental pieces here and there and a hanging sofa on the Southern side of the balcony, positioned to catch the Northern sun. She had made the space functional and most importantly she made the space hers. It was great to see another client utilising their outdoor space with the help of a product from our vast range of shade and weather systems.

Origin recently completed this installation to the east of Kilmarnock on the east coast of Scotland. The installation was for a frameless glass balcony on a residential development. The customer wanted a frameless look but also wanted the security of having a handrail. To read more about the installation of the balcony visit our website and read the full case study.
