Your deck was built for four months a year.
We rebuilt it for twelve.
A bioclimatic louvered roof that opens to the sky in July and seals warm in January. Insulated sliding glass. Motorized zip screens. One room that runs as an open-air deck in summer, a sun lounge in fall, and a sealed living room every weekend in between.
A premium deck. Empty eight months a year.
The owner had done the deck right the first time — wide planks, premium furniture, the kind of corner you'd happily host on. The problem wasn't the space. It was the calendar.
By late October it was unusable. By Memorial Day it might be again, weather permitting. Eight months a year of empty real estate — square footage they were paying for and looking at through a window.
The ask, in one line: turn this deck into a room that adds to the floor plan twelve months a year — without losing the open-sky feeling on a July afternoon.
Open to the sky in July. Sealed warm in January.
The bioclimatic roof works in two motions. The louvers rotate to tilt sun, vent heat, or seal against rain — on a motor tied to a remote and a rain sensor. Then the panels can retract entirely to expose the deck to open sky. One system. Two completely different rooms. Decided from your phone.
Engineered to work as one room.
The lounge is layered from three premium systems — every one motorized, every one tied into a single control point. Open it like a pergola in July. Seal it like a living room in January. Run it like a weekend lounge every month in between.
Bioclimatic Louvered Roof
Rotating, retractable, thermally engineered. Tilt the louvers to control sun and ventilation, or retract them entirely for full open sky. Remote-controlled, with a rain sensor that closes the roof on its own when weather turns.
Learn about the systemInsulated Sliding Glass
Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass panels with sealed thermal panes. The view of the city never closes — even when the room is sealed warm against a January wind off the river.
Learn about the systemMotorized Zip Screens
Concealed drop-down screens for sun, bugs, and privacy — hidden inside the structural frame, deployed on a single button. Tensioned in zipper-tracked channels so wind doesn't pull them loose.
Learn about the systemSame deck. Four different rooms.
The same lounge runs as an open-air deck in summer, a sun-shaded reading room in fall, a fully sealed living room in winter, and an indoor-outdoor party space every weekend in between. One frame. One control system. Four operating modes.

From sealed-warm interior to open-sky deck — captured on site, in real time, one button.
Built once. Built right.
Thermally broken aluminum frame. Sealed insulated glazing. Drainage routed through the structural beams so rain leaves the deck, not the lounge. The roof, the screens, the doors — all motorized, all on one remote, all backed by a NYC DOB-licensed builder who handles the permit from filing to final. Twenty years of NYC builds. One hundred-plus projects standing.
