How ORBIS Austria GmbH makes better use of its company terrace
The company terrace of Orbis Austria GmbH serves not only as a place to unwind for staff, but also as a key venue for corporate events. The sun sail has proven remarkably versatile, shielding not only from intense sun but also from noise and sudden downpours. A telling moment came last year when a Microsoft event was caught out by an unexpected shower. Thanks to the sun sail, all 70 guests found shelter and the event carried on without a hitch.



Sun protection for the company terrace
The sun sail on the company terrace creates pleasant shade and protection from the sun, transforming how the space is used. Staff at ORBIS Austria GmbH in Vienna, and prospective applicants, now feel even more comfortable and valued, with an inviting, relaxing terrace to enjoy. The improvement has fostered a positive working atmosphere and encourages staff to unwind and recharge during their breaks.

Design concept
Premium sun protection on the company terrace does more than change the feel of the outdoor space – it directly shapes the working environment, staff satisfaction and company image. The following three design themes sum up the concept:
The large, open roof terrace with its pale tiled floor reflected the sun so fiercely that it was barely usable by day in summer – and it is exposed to wind on all sides. A single, wide sun sail with a roughly eight-metre motor roller now turns it into a comfortable place to work, relax or host events.
At a corporate event with around 70 guests, heavy rain struck of all moments – everyone stayed under the sail, the water ran off to the sides and the evening continued undisturbed. At the same time the solution blends seamlessly into the architecture and leaves a lasting impression on applicants and visitors.
At the touch of a button the sail extends in moments – say when the team cooks and eats together outside at lunchtime. The wind sensor handles the rest: in a storm the system retracts on its own, so you can happily forget to switch it off – minimal effort, maximum safety in daily operation.
Challenges and solutions
The sun sail has become a symbol of the company. It is the first thing applicants see when they arrive for an interview, and it leaves a lasting impression. Staff value this commitment to their well-being on the company terrace and are more inclined to apply here. It shows that the company cares about its working environment.
