The Embassy workshop, with nearly 90 years of history, wanted to have a terrace suited to its demanding clientele. Its location, in the heart of the city’s gastronomic area, lacked protection from various elements: a busy street, falling leaves, and bad weather.
When they contacted Kauma, the terrace also had a sloping floor. A 360º project: floor levelling, horizontal protection, and vertical enclosure, all while adhering to public ground regulations.
We began by levelling the floor with a Kauma decking structure. On top of this, we installed the Tactic 120 movable roof solution. This way, when the weather conditions are optimal, the roof opens up to the breezes. The panels are made of next-generation cellular polycarbonate, allowing natural light to pass through while filtering ultraviolet rays, which cause the greenhouse effect. When night falls, the LED spotlights integrated into the profiles perfectly meet the lighting needs.
Vertically, we proposed the Extenda windbreak for Embassy. This system is a retractable windbreak that serves multiple functions: when closed, it acts as a safety railing due to the height difference created when levelling the floor; when extended, it reaches the top of the roof, closing and fully protecting the customers. Access to the terrace is through a door, also created by Kauma, which enhances protection on grey days.
