By installing Gibus products, the very striking Guest House Hiša Denk, run by chef Gregor Vracko, can now offer its customers a terrace they can use for their entire stay; a Sun Room that provides added value to this wonderful place, which, as well as the quality of its restaurant, offers a splendid countryside setting and a totally revamped appearance thanks to extensive renovation work. It was precisely after this renovation work that the Guest House, which is situated in Zgornja Kungota, in the north-east of Slovenia near the Austrian border, found its ideal complement in two Twist pergolas made by Gibus. First of all the covering satisfied the precise need for an entertaining area, as Vracko explained: “We required a structure that created shade in a particularly exposed, sunny and very hot area. It also needed to be resistant to water.” For this reason the initial idea of using shade sails was rejected. “The functionality would have been limited and they wouldn’t have guaranteed shelter from the rain,” explained Oton Filipič, owner of the Atelier Ralux of Nova Gorica, who Vracko turned to after seeing the excellent quality of the materials and particular attention to design that Gibus’ products offered. “After analysing the situation, we almost immediately opted for Twist, which proved to be ideal for what the customer had in mind,” continued Filipič. He added: “We intervened by making the most of the space, which has an L-shape. We therefore used two Twist pergolas, one larger than the other, as the solution. In this way, we could enclose the two adjoining areas, one of which was 4.5 x 6.7 metres, the other 4.19 x 5.5 metres.”
