Located along Vancouver’s scenic False Creek, the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts needed a stylish, functional solution to enhance their outdoor dining area. With students and guests regularly enjoying the waterfront patio, the school wanted to ensure comfort and usability in all weather conditions.

Patio Gurus delivered with the installation of the Stobag Resobox, a sleek, retractable awning system that provides dependable shade on sunny days and reliable rain protection when the weather turns. Now, visitors can comfortably dine and socialize outdoors year-round, while the institute maintains a sophisticated look that complements its modern culinary facilities.

Cannon Estate Winery wanted to maximize the use of their patio space year-round without compromising the open-air charm their guests love in the summer. However, building restrictions prevented any permanent enclosure, posing a challenge for protecting the area during colder months.

Patio Gurus provided the perfect solution with Smart Screen Motorized Shades with clear vinyl panels. These retractable screens offer seamless weather protection when needed, shielding the patio from wind and rain in the winter, while rolling away effortlessly during warm, sunny days. The result is a flexible, code-compliant patio that adapts beautifully to every season, all without sacrificing views or ambiance.
