Geneva pergola
The structure, made of ipe wood and powder-coated steel, feels light and open in the space but is substantial enough for an urban terrace 14 floors high. “Wind was an issue,” Osborne says. “Everything we did and built with that in mind.” The pergola provides some shade for the dining area during the day but mostly was installed to add privacy from upper floors and surrounding buildings. The design team chose not to make the roof solid in order to allow as much light to reach the terrace as possible. “They have a beautiful view and we didn’t want to block any of that,” Osborne says. The team even designed the pergola so the posts line up perfectly with the home’s window openings
"For example, in this San Diego landscape by Richard Risner of Grounded, five shade sails serve as a modern awning for the patio just off the living room. Mounted at regular intervals and hung to overlap each other, the triangular shades look almost like a line of sailboats or the white crests of waves".
