RESIDENTIAL PERGOLA
Highlands Ranch 80126
OVERVIEW
StruXure Denver collaborated with premier landscapers, Lifescape, to undertake a comprehensive redesign and refresh of this residential backyard located in a suburb south of Denver. The project aimed to transform the outdoor space into a beautifully landscaped area with several new elements.
The centerpiece of this transformation was the installation of a pergola on a new tiled patio to provide a shaded, comfortable space for the family and their elderly parents. The pergola was integrated with concrete elements, a firepit, water features, and planters, creating an inviting and functional outdoor environment. An elderly parent lived with the family and loved to sit outside but found the intense Colorado sun too overwhelming. The pergola was designed to provide a shaded, comfortable outdoor space, allowing the elderly parents and the rest of the family to enjoy the outdoors for reading, napping, and relaxation without the discomfort of direct sunlight.
Project Details
CHALLENGE:
The family home was built in the 90s and presented unique challenges for the pergola installation. The design necessitated height adjustments to ensure the pergola would function optimally. Achieving the desired height required mounting the pergola to the garage roof.
Structural and installation considerations were critical to the success of the project. Ensuring the stability of the pergola while maintaining the required height was paramount. The pergola needed to be securely anchored to the garage roof without compromising any structural integrity. It also had to blend seamlessly with the existing architecture and the newly redesigned landscape by Lifescape. The goal was to create a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing outdoor space that integrated harmoniously with the home and the surrounding features.
SOLUTION:
StruXure Denver installed the Pivot 6 pergola, known for its innovative louvered roof design that adapts to changing weather conditions at the push of a button. The pergola’s fully extruded aluminum design and stainless-steel fasteners ensure durability and resistance to hurricane-force winds, heavy snow loads, and harsh environmental conditions. The architectural grade powder coating protects against scratches and requires minimal maintenance, ensuring the pergola remains in pristine condition year after year. The internal patented gutter system diverts rainwater away from the patio to maintain a clean and dry environment.
The pergola was customized to fit the family’s needs, featuring a large 2-zone structure with heaters, fans, and lights to extend usability throughout the year. The color scheme of a black structure with white louvers complemented the home’s aesthetic, while a two-step cornice design ensured a cohesive look with the existing architecture. The installation process involved close collaboration with Lifescape landscapers, ensuring that the pergola seamlessly integrated with the new patio and outdoor features.
RESULTS:
The installation of the Pivot 6 pergola was completed in just two days, providing the family with an enhanced outdoor space that could be enjoyed without the threat of the intense Colorado sun. The pergola has made the patio usable and offers a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing outdoor area. The seamless integration with the redesigned backyard has created a cohesive and inviting space for the entire family.
BENEFITS:
The feedback from the Dovel family has been overwhelmingly positive. The elderly parent now enjoys the outdoor space almost daily, and the entire family has benefited from the enhanced usability and comfort provided by the pergola. The durable, low-maintenance design ensures that the pergola will continue to enhance their quality of life for years to come.
