Made-to-measure sun sail – planned for architecture and life
On the edge of Gundramsdorf, nestled among the vineyards, a living concept took shape that unites architecture and quality of life: two buildings joined by an open central area with a natural pond. The west-facing terrace catches strong sun from midday – without shade, sitting outside was barely pleasant. The brief: a solution that gives shade, protects the interior and blends seamlessly into the architecture. Planning and costing were done on site – rather than waiting weeks for a quote.



Bespoke sun sail
Every element of the sun sail was planned and made individually. Shape, tension and orientation are matched precisely to the architecture, use and path of the sun. From a distance the sail looks almost invisible, as the taut fabric tension underlines the lightness of the solution and keeps the architecture to the fore.
The sun sail not only shields the terrace but deliberately reduces heat build-up indoors. So the living room stays comfortably cool even on hot days, without keeping the blinds permanently shut. At the same time the system protects against sun and light rain and extends the outdoor space into a fully usable living area.

Design concept
The solution is a made-to-measure sun sail tailored exactly to the setting. Three fixing points on the building and one precisely placed stainless-steel post create a pared-back, clean structure. The post was core-drilled directly into the marble surface and blends discreetly into the overall picture.
The made-to-measure sun sail blends seamlessly into the lines of modern architecture and underlines its clear forms without any visual disruption.
At the touch of a button or via smart home, the sun sail flexibly protects from sun and light rain – at a barbecue you simply stay seated rather than head indoors. The wind sensor dispels any early doubts about wind: in strong wind the sail retracts on its own, with nothing to remember. Retracted, it stays discreetly in the background.
UV-resistant, weatherproof materials and the patented tensioning technology guarantee years of protection and help integrate made-to-measure sun sails into daily life energy-efficiently.
Challenges and solutions
A made-to-measure sun sail is more than mere shading – it is the answer to specific architectural and functional needs. In this project, outdoor and indoor spaces alike had to be shielded from the sun without compromising the home's clear forms. The solution fits precisely into the architecture, creates pleasant conditions on the terrace and reduces overheating indoors at the same time. Design and function mesh seamlessly.

This project shows how precise planning, individual fabrication and well-thought-out technology work together to create shading that adapts entirely to architecture and lifestyle.
Project highlights

Part of the architecture
The made-to-measure sail blends seamlessly into the clean lines of the modern architecture and underlines them without disruption.

Precisely anchored
Three fixing points and a stainless-steel post core-drilled into the marble create a pared-back, clean and discreet solution.

Protects indoors too
The sail shades the terrace and deliberately cuts heat build-up indoors – the living room stays cool, with no need for constant blinds.

Long-lasting and smart
UV-resistant materials and the patented tensioning technology secure years of protection – integrated into daily life by button or smart home.
