Brokenwood, just over 165 kilometres north-west of Sydney is a favourite location for wine tours and tastings. But until October of last year, the estate’s large outside terrace had not been used to its full potential. So the management of the winery decided to have the outdoor seating area covered with a large awning system from markilux.

Protection from both poor weather and the sun
An area of almost 180 square metres were covered at the winery. The solution consists of three markilux markant systems with four folding-arm awnings of the markilux 970 model additionally mounted on the sides and front. This combination offers the flexibility to shade the entire area or only parts of it. The sun and weather protection system is also equipped with dimmable LED light and infrared heaters.
Designed to suit the architecture
And alongside these more functional aspects, there was also the design. The customer wanted the look of the awning system to underline the discreetly natural, wood-clad architecture of the building complex. But, at the same time, design always has to go hand in hand with functionality. New South Wales is located in the Subtropics, where it is not only common to have a lot of sun, but also rain throughout the year.
