Made for the shade
Adding to the look and enjoyment of homes in the Olive Estate Lifestyle Village,
motorised Felicia Awnings protect against the sun and keep things cool
Indoor-outdoor flow is fantastic, but it’s
important that the alfresco setting you
open your doors to is a welcoming one.
The upmarket Olive Estate Lifestyle
Village in Richmond Nelson offers a
relaxed lifestyle for over 55-year-olds.
With stage one of the townhouses and
villas complete, sales manager Vanessa
Taylor looked through the HomePlus
website and sourced the Felicia motorised
awning as an ideal solution for weather
protection for the homes’ front and rear
courtyards. The idea was to make the
sunny areas shady and cool for residents.
The Felicia is a retractable arm awning,
with matching housing that the awning
retracts into. This also stores the electronics – so everything is protected and tidy.
Taylor worked with HomePlus Nelson
manager Matt Ludemann to customise,
manufacture, and install the shades. As a
testament to their popularity, residents
have already put in orders for over 20.
The particular Felicia Awning chosen
for the village is 3.5m wide and 3m deep.
Its Planasol fabric is in Mist Grey – a solid
tone that complements the village’s quiet,
refined colour scheme.
