Gibus: 'The new minimalist and smart, bioclimatic pergola Movie'

"Thanks to its delicate elegance, the result of a perfect balance between slim volumes and pure design, the Movie is the ideal solution for transforming small outdoor spaces into enchanting spaces of well-being," believes Managing Director Martijn Westenbrink of Gibus Netherlands and Belgium. "A bonus is the exceptional comfort offered by the ability to remotely control this pergola using a simple app." 

Albert Hadley, the legendary American interior designer, used to say that interior design is "the creation of a quality of life, a beauty that nourishes the soul." "We are happy to borrow his words to describe the essence of the bioclimatic pergola Movie, even though we are not talking about interiors here but the outdoor space," Westenbrink said. "We profile ourselves as one of the leading players in the sector of high-end outdoor design in Europe and present the Movie as an ideal solution for end users who want to transform small outdoor spaces, such as terraces or small gardens, into spaces of sustainable well-being, to enjoy the sun, the view or the beauty of nature." 

"This new addition to our range of bioclimatic pergolas was designed by us with a focus on lightness and elegance as a redefinition of outdoor living," Westenbrink continued. "The result is a line pattern characterized by pure lines that communicates a design language that is expressive and minimalist. The Movie is characterized by its slender volumes, currently the most minimal in Gibus' range of bioclimatic pergolas. The Movie has slender uprights of 11 x 11 cm upright profile and a compact gutter of 15 cm height. These are features that give this pergola a pleasing, airy feel that allows even small outdoor spaces to be dressed up without overwhelming them!" 

"The new Gibus bioclimatic pergola combines sleek, contemporary design with valuable technical performance. It features slats that rotate between 0° and 115°, allowing the intensity of the sun's rays to be regulated as needed to provide sun and light or shade or protection from wind and rain. In addition to horizontal, the Movie can also provide vertical protection by closing the sides with sliding glass walls and/or zipscreens - transparent, solar, blackout, insect repellent - to ensure the desired comfort at all times. For even more versatility, the pergola can be equipped with LED lighting: spotlights integrated in the slats and/or LED strips in the beams. This increases the pergola's possibilities of use because it can also be used when it gets dark outside AND it can create atmosphere that can be enjoyed alone or in company." 

"Beautiful and high-tech, but not only that, the Movie is also a 'smart' solution, easy to activate and manage from wherever you are," Westenbrink said. "The pergola was designed with a 'new-generation concept,' the result of significant investments we've made at Gibus in the continued development of the comfort of our products. The result is that this pergola has its own app and can therefore be operated not only with a remote control, but also in a very simple way with a smartphone, from one's own home or garden, but also, if desired, from one's work or vacation address. This offers great advantages in terms of comfort, safety and energy efficiency. Just consider the possibility of lighting the pergola Movie at night when residents are not at home. This will better illuminate the outdoor space and/or terrace, thus making the home a more difficult target for intruders. Or, in the case where the pergola Movie is semi-detached against the facade, the interesting possibility of remotely controlling the slats or vertical screens to close them during the hottest hours of the day to keep the heat out and thus reduce cooling loads. In addition, this new Gibus pergola can also be linked to any home automation system that may exist. The control of the louvers can then be connected to the building controller, which they are then controlled by, without the need for an additional controller." 

"The Movie is made of extruded aluminum and fully powder-coated," concludes Martijn Westenbrink. "The pergola is equipped with a new rainwater drainage system, in which the end user can choose during installation which uprights will drain rainwater from the roof. The Movie is available freestanding or semi-freestanding. In the latter configuration, the pergola can be used either with the slats parallel or at right angles to the wall - laterally."
