Large awning system for Australian winery

The Brokenwood winery is located in the "Hunter Valley" in New South Wales, Australia. In October of last year, the outdoor terrace of the estate received an awning system from markilux. The newly designed outdoor area can now be used for events and wine tastings in all weathers.

Over the past 50 years, Brokenwood, located a good 165 kilometers northwest of Sydney, has developed into one of Australia's best-known wineries. Today, wine tours and tastings are held here on a regular basis. However, the estate's large outdoor terrace has not been used to its full potential until now. This was to change. Therefore, the management of the winery decided to have the terrace covered with a large markilux awning system.

The Australian team : project has covered an area of almost 180 square meters. The system consists of three markilux markant units, with an additional four folding-arm awnings of the markilux 970 model mounted on the sides and front. By combining the different models and awning types, the sun protection solution offers maximum flexibility. Depending on the position of the sun, the entire surface or only parts of it can be shaded.

Paired with infrared heaters, the stay at the Brokenwood Winery becomes a cozy affair. In the future, the terrace will be used for various events, regardless of the weather or time of day.

In addition to the requirements for the functions of the awning system, the modern design was a decisive factor for the product selection. The appearance of the sun protection was to skilfully emphasize the discreetly natural, wood-clad architecture of the building ensemble. After initial discussions with markilux team : project in Australia, it was clear that markilux would meet the requirements for a perfect combination of function and design. Since good design must always go hand in hand with excellent, reliable technology, our product range offers high-quality products with the best looks.
