ARKEN SPAN · Reduced-Column Louvre Roof

ARKEN SPAN — Wider openings with fewer columns.

ARKEN SPAN is the reduced-column rotating-roof pathway for wider single bays, cleaner sightlines and linked multi-bay structures. It is intended for substantial residential, hospitality, resort and commercial projects where post count and openness materially affect the architecture.

Current technical reference

Useful specification for early project planning.

These figures are drawn from current product information. They are planning references, not a substitute for the final project-specific engineering and documentation package.

Why this pathway exists

Architecture first. Product model second.

01

Reduce visual interruption

Selected ARKEN models are designed to achieve larger roof areas with fewer posts, improving sightlines and usable floor space.

02

Link bays for project scale

Multi-bay planning allows larger terraces and hospitality areas to be broken into engineered roof modules rather than treated as one generic pergola.

03

Plan drainage at scale

Larger roof areas create larger water volumes. Roof collection, post drainage and site discharge are resolved as part of the project rather than assumed from the bay size alone.

04

Project-led, not catalogue-led

Final bay sizes, beam directions, post positions, electrical zones and enclosure interfaces are developed around the actual project brief.

Project technical note

Reference dimensions are current ARKEN SPAN planning figures only. Final structural layout, loading, drainage and post count depend on the actual project and local requirements.
