Would you like to enjoy lunch or dinner sat on a terrace along the seashore? No, it’s not an impossible dream; you can enjoy this experience at Scogliolungo, a restaurant in Porto Torres, which has made its unrivalled location even more spectacular by installing a Twist pergola by Gibus. In this way, the part of the restaurant that extends over the rocks has been transformed, to all intents and purposes, into a real Place under the Sun which, particularly in summer, is truly special.
“My main goal”, explained Antonello Zappino, owner of the restaurant, “was to find a structure that could guarantee protection from the sun, but also with stand the strong winds that blow over the outside area, which is just a stone’s throw from the sea, and provide a touch of elegance and design in harmony with the style of our restaurant.”
Due to its features, the bioclimatic Twist pergola from Gibus is perfectly able to satisfy these needs. In first place, it has tilting louvre blades that form the roof and can be oriented to regulate the microclimate of the room beneath, allowing guests to enjoy, at all times, pleasant, natural ventilation.
The blades can also be oriented to shield the sunlight, thereby guaranteeing total protection and maximum comfort even on the hottest days. Once closed, the blades offer perfect protection against the rain, which is drained along rainwater channels integrated in the load-bearing structure.
