Project
House of Nautica, a bespoke building company in Auckland’s North Shore, approached us for design assistance for gable-end louvre panels. Their in-house architects had specified large louvres at each end of this house’s three wings, to provide sunshade and an aesthetically pleasing feature.
We were called upon to provide consent documentation, fabrication, and installation of stunning louvres for this Pāremoremo home, located on the upper reaches of the Waitematā Harbour.


Challenge
House of Nautica needed a louvre company that could provide not only detailed shop drawings but also an engineer’s certificate for building consent application. With the louvre panels following the angle of the gables, they required a top connection with no external bracketry to create a clean and sleek look, that would tie in seamlessly with the home.
It was clear that House of Nautica needed one company that could do it all. As we had worked with them previously, they knew that we could offer all of the products and services they required.
Solution
To provide a clean and seamless look, Aurae Solaris 100 louvres were chosen. The louvre panels would not only span the required distance but they could also be fixed with internal bracketry for a tidy install. Our engineer also provided a PS1, which along with Aurae shop drawings, meant the building consent application ran smoothly.
To ensure the seamless installation of the louvre panels, our project managers worked with the builders on-site to ensure all fixings met the engineer’s specifications, and everything ran to schedule. The end result is simply stunning – the louvre panels are one of the main eye-catching features of the house along with the supplementary chimney cowl, for added aesthetics.
