Given the geographical orientation of the house, sun protection was simply indispensable here, which the residents know after three months in their new home.
But even with a living room facing directly south, it is still pleasantly cool in the house even on very warm days thanks to suitable sun protection. Thanks to the pergola in the garden, residents also have the choice of spending their time indoors or outdoors, where it is most comfortable, all year round.

Effective sun protection
“We actually installed the entire Renson sun protection range here,” explains installer Frederic Lacoste from Renson Ambassador Portaix Loisirs: “from Panovista Max textile sunshades on the corner sliding window (with zip fastener without disturbing profiles or ropes on the corner without support posts) to loggia sliding shutters in front of the windows to a fixed Sunclips canopy over another window.” But however different the measures may be, they prevent the sun from making the interiors of this well-insulated villa unbearably hot in the same efficient way; by blocking the sun’s rays even before they reach the glass. According to the residents, the result is impressive. The great advantage is that both the screens and the sliding shutters can be opened or closed as required, depending on the comfort or desired incidence of light.
Comfortable stay outdoors
The same goes for the garden, because in this area that’s where the owners spend a lot of their time. To be able to continue doing this during heat waves, the Camargue pergola is a godsend for them.
Thanks to the integrated screens and the rotatable slats in the roof, shade and temperature can still be controlled. Another advantage is that in the future you can spend time outdoors very comfortably even in the transitional seasons.
“By the way,” the residents add. When using the whirlpool, the loggia sliding shutters not only provide the necessary shade but also additional privacy, which is another plus point.
“From the very first design of their new house, the owners had a pool house in mind. The Camargue terrace enclosure with rotating slats by Renson is completely in line with how they had envisioned the pool house.
And the builder also likes the various solutions for keeping out the sun. The fact that the owners immediately felt at home in their new house is the best proof for me to be able to speak of a successful project,” says architect Christine Bouchard.
