Project Highlight: Enclose & Open Up Outdoor Dining Areas at the Touch of a Button

About the Restaurant

The Deck Kitchen + Bar is a convenient casual restaurant located in Richmond, BC overlooking the beautiful Fraser River. The impressive 7000 sq.ft deck is surrounded with over 60 tables, and makes up 70% of the restaurant’s total revenue. Therefore, it was crucial for the business owner to find a solution to ensure the patio could be used all year round to sustain their income.

The Need

With its expansive 7,000 sq.ft deck that overlooks the Fraser River, the owner wanted a solution that would allow visitors to enjoy an exciting waterfront dining experience all year-round – rather than just the spring and summer months.

The Solution

17 Phantom motorized screens were installed to control climate and create a comfortable space for guests. The vinyl screens block the cool river winds, while preserving the beautiful view.

What Makes This Project Special?

The screens create a space that can be customized to deliver a pleasant dining experience year-round while sustaining revenue for the business.
