Located on the 18th floor of a modern residential tower in Vancouver, Canada, this penthouse enjoys an unobstructed panoramic view of the city and its surrounding natural landscape.
The owner’s desire was to create a luxurious winter garden, a sheltered extension of the living space that would offer year-round comfort, regardless of the region’s demanding weather conditions.
Selecting the right pergola was a key design decision, as the high altitude of the 18th floor is exposed to intense winds and significant temperature fluctuations. The Santorini PG160P bioclimatic pergola met all static and structural requirements, providing durability, stability, and high reliability, essential factors for installations in climates with substantial seasonal variations.
Combined with the glass system, the structure forms a fully protected environment while maintaining an open, airy feel. Weather protection, and visual continuity with the spectacular skyline are all ensured seamlessly.
The result is a sophisticated outdoor living solution that elevates the penthouse’s terrace into a landmark example of contemporary bioclimatic design. It showcases how advanced shading, glazing, and weather-resistant systems can redefine the relationship between indoor comfort and outdoor experience
