The "Bink 36 " is at the heart of the Binckhorst in The Hague. Its top floor is home to the “Harbour Club” restaurant, which can accommodate 400 guest, offering an impressive view of the city.

And, since 2020, that’s something that has been able to be enjoyed all year round in the conservatory. As a final touch for this highlight, Managing Director Pieter Smit decided to have the glass construction shaded by a large-format awning system from markilux.
Awnings provide warm light
“We decided on the conservatory awning markilux 8800 because it is particularly resistant to the wind. We’re on the fifth floor here and so we are more exposed to the wind,” says Mr Smit. That is especially true as the conservatory extends over almost 30 metres on the entire south-eastern side of the restaurant building.

The shading system of the same width consists of three coupled awning fields. To ensure a good cover fit, it is equipped with the tracfix system from markilux and extends a good distance above the glass roof. This in turn means the system provides maximum protection from the sun.
Challenging installation project
The summer before last, a crane was used to transport the components to the top floor. Peer Cornelssen, Head of International Sales, explains that constructions at this height are always more of a challenge in terms of logistics. But because the conservatory has a folding glass wall that can be opened, it was easy to transport the packages upstairs and store them temporarily.
