Niko Kapa's ARC Redefines Outdoor Living with Innovative Bioclimatic Pergola
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Niko Kapa introduces ARC, a bioclimatic pergola inspired by the traditional Loggia architecture of Italian and Mediterranean environments. This innovative structure seamlessly blends tradition and modernity, offering a transformative canopy that adjusts to natural lighting and air circulation, creating the perfect outdoor living space.
Constructed with a slender aluminium framework, ARC's main structure supports a canopy that can switch between a flat ceiling and a vaulted conformation, allowing occupants to enjoy the outdoors in the greatest climate comfort. The pergola takes advantage of Pratic bioclimatic technology, featuring adjustable sunshade blades that generate a wavy appearance, reflecting its transformative nature.
ARC's unique properties include a motorized functionality designed to provide sheltering, shade, and waterproof enclosure, complete with an incorporated water drainage system. The pergola's fins become signature aesthetic elements, outlining a curved conformation when open and providing complete waterproofing when retracted. Additionally, the pergola can be customized with refined awnings, adding depth and dimension to the space.
On the structure, a series of curved components define protected and comfortable outdoor areas with style and elegance. The design language of ARC represents a reinvention of typology, providing shade and glare protection against the harsh sun while promoting natural airflow to improve energy efficiency and create spaces of increased comfort.
Completed in 2023, ARC's artificial illumination scheme complements the overall concept, with integrated lighting on the blades accentuating the profile and curves of the design. The incorporation of movement and flow in the array, along with adjustable brightness and color, creates a unique spatial experience while conserving energy.
Besides the main self-supporting version, ARC can be wall-mounted and further personalized through a range of colors and finishes. Its versatility allows for applications in private homes, public environments, hotels, restaurants, cafes, and outdoor working and recreation sites.
Niko Kapa's ARC is a testament to the fusion of modern design, sustainability, and cutting-edge technology, redefining outdoor living spaces with its innovative bioclimatic pergola.
