Preserving the character of a 1900s federation home while introducing modern outdoor living, this poolside transformation by Trebilcock & Associates integrates carefully considered shading to meet both heritage and comfort ambitions. Our solution: dual markilux 3300 folding-arm awnings (5940 mm W × 3500 mm P) that provide SPF 50+ protection from the western sun while remaining fully retractable for late-evening light. The result is a refined, versatile space that supports outdoor entertainment while enhancing the visual harmony of the historic backyard setting.
