Item 01 · Outdoor Shelter

A covered retreat for the 4th-floor lobby.

The 4th-floor lobby patio has the right footprint for outdoor seating but no shade and no rain cover, so residents rarely use it. An 8×8 motorized aluminum pergola turns the space into a covered lounge anyone can use day or night, dry or sunny. Built for outdoor weather, sized for the existing paver area, finished in the same dark anthracite tone as the elevator cab refurbish.

01 Before & After

Same patio, same angle

Existing

The 4th floor lobby patio today — a weathered thatched tiki hut over the picnic table, with a dated black slatted trash can off to the right.

Current state · 4th-floor patioWeathered thatched tiki, faded palm fronds, dated black slatted trash can. Provides only minimal shade and no rain cover. The space sits unused most of the day.

Proposed

With the new pergolaClean 8×8 anthracite aluminum frame, motorized louver roof for shade or rain cover, four potted areca palms in cream planters at the corners to soften the look, and the matching dark-grey waste bin (Item 03) on the right. Same patio area, finished to lobby standard.

02 What it is

Product detail

Motorized louver roof

The roof is built from horizontal aluminum panel slats that tilt on a motor. Open the slats for breeze and dappled light; close them flat for full rain cover. The motor runs from a wall switch or remote.

Wall switch and remote control
Closes flat for full rain shedding
Tilts open for airflow and partial shade

Outdoor-grade aluminum

Powder-coated aluminum frame and slats throughout. Won't rust, won't rot, no painting required. Anthracite finish, same color family as the elevator cab refurbish coming through the lobby program.

Marine-grade powder coat
Engineered for South Florida humidity and salt air
No annual maintenance beyond a hose-down

03 Why it matters

Resident impact

Turns an unused space into a daily one

The 4th floor lobby patio sits empty most of the day. There's nowhere to sit out of the sun, and no shelter when a Florida shower rolls through. A covered roof solves both at once and makes the existing seating actually usable.

Lifts the front-lobby impression

The 4th floor is the first thing residents and guests see when they come up from the parking deck. A clean architectural piece in the same finish family as the lobby refresh ties the whole entry sequence together visually.
