Turkish Café Restaurant | 10-Module Skyroof Prestige Retractable Pergolas with Parapet & Glass Systems

At a contemporary café-restaurant in Turkey, Palmiye Emirates executed a standout architectural installation: a 10-module Skyroof Prestige retractable bioclimatic pergola system, complemented by an adjustable parapet and fixed rectangular glass panels. This multi-module solution transformed the venue into a flexible, year-round destination suited for dining, events, and social gatherings.

The project brief called for a system that could adapt instantly to changing weather while preserving an open, inviting atmosphere. The restaurant needed to offer guests the freedom of alfresco dining when conditions allow, and a sheltered, climate-controlled environment when they don’t — without sacrificing sightlines, acoustics, or design integrity.

Palmiye’s answer was a coordinated design that paired Skyroof Prestige modules for large-span coverage with precision-engineered parapets and glass closures. Each of the 10 modules operates independently or in concert, enabling fine control over natural light and ventilation across the entire terrace. This modular approach avoids the compromises of a single, oversized canopy and allows the restaurant team to customise zones for private dinners, live performances, or flexible seating arrangements.

Key elements of the installation:

• 10-Module Skyroof Prestige: Motorised, rotatable louvers for precise sun and airflow control; engineered for heavy loads and long service life.
• Adjustable Parapet System: Motorised parapets add a safety barrier and an elegant enclosure option that deploys when needed without obstructing views.
• Fixed Rectangular Glass Panels: High-performance glazing provides wind protection, reduces noise and creates comfortable micro-climates while keeping visual transparency.
• Integrated Automation: Centralised control lets staff operate modules, parapets, and glass panels from a single interface for fast transitions between open and enclosed layouts.

From an operational perspective, the modular Skyroof Prestige system delivers measurable benefits: it extends usable hours and seasons, improves customer comfort (reducing heat and wind exposure), and increases seating flexibility — all of which contributed to higher occupancy and revenue potential for the restaurant. Aesthetic considerations were equally important; the slim aluminum profiles, coordinated finishes, and minimal-profile glass fostered a contemporary look that complements the venue’s interior design.

Installation was executed with close collaboration between Palmiye’s engineering team and the restaurant’s architects, ensuring structural integration with the existing steelwork and compliance with local building codes. Weather testing and commissioning ensured reliable performance under Turkey’s variable conditions.

Outcome: The completed terrace is now a dynamic hospitality space — open and airy on pleasant days, protected and intimate when weather demands. The 10-module configuration provides operational agility and elevates the guest experience while maintaining architectural elegance and durability.

This project highlights Palmiye Emirates’ expertise in large-scale, modular bioclimatic solutions that merge engineering precision with refined design — ideal for restaurants, hotels, and venues seeking adaptable, premium outdoor spaces.
