Transforming Fukuoka Gardens into the Ultimate 'Outdoor Play' Space: Luxurious Living Controlled by Light and Breeze with Takasho's 'Patio Move'
Hello. We are Shiki Kobo, an exterior construction specialty store proposing garden designs rooted in the local community, primarily in Fukuoka Prefecture.
In recent years, our lifestyles have changed significantly. As we spend more time at home, the value of the 'garden' is being re-evaluated.
'I have a garden, but it's too hot to go out in the summer.' 'When it rains, the terrace becomes unusable and just turns into dead space.' 'I want to build a stylish pergola, but it seems difficult to adjust for sunlight and rain.'
For everyone in Fukuoka facing such concerns, we have a product we can confidently recommend. It is the aluminum louvered terrace by Takasho, 'Patio Move'.
Why is this 'manual' terrace being chosen now? We will introduce the reasons and tips for utilizing it in exterior construction in Fukuoka from a professional perspective.
1. What is Takasho's 'Patio Move'? The 'Ultimate Analog' for Controlling Light and Breeze
If we were to describe 'Patio Move' in one phrase, it would be 'an all-weather aluminum pergola where you can design your environment with your own hands.'
Its greatest feature lies in the 'louvers' (blades) on the ceiling. These louvers are movable, allowing you to freely change their angle according to the situation.
'Manual Opening/Closing' that is reliable because it is simple
This is an important point: Patio Move is 'manual.' By turning a dedicated handle, you can adjust the angle of the louvers from 0 degrees up to 100 degrees.
You might wonder, 'Is it manual in this day and age?' but in fact, there are significant advantages to being 'manual' in exterior design.
Intuitive operation: While feeling how the sunlight enters and the breeze flows at that moment, you can fine-tune it to the 'most comfortable angle' with your own hands. This analog sensation makes your time in the garden even richer.
No electrical work required: Since complex wiring work is not needed, there is greater freedom in installation location, and the risk of future failures (motor lifespan or electrical system troubles) is kept to a minimum.
Ease of maintenance: Because the structure is simple, you can use it with peace of mind for a long time.
2. Why 'Patio Move' is the best choice for Fukuoka's climate
There is a reason why we at Shiki Kobo, who handle exterior construction in Fukuoka, strongly recommend this product. It is because Patio Move is extremely well-suited to Fukuoka's unique climate.
Countermeasures for extreme summer heat: Escaping heat and creating shade
In recent years, Fukuoka's summers have tended to be extremely hot, even by national standards. With fixed polycarbonate roofs, heat tends to get trapped underneath. With Patio Move, by opening the louvers just a little, you can create an ideal environment that 'blocks direct sunlight while allowing heat to escape upward.'
Handling sudden rain: All-weather peace of mind
It's a shame to have to run inside the house due to sudden rain when you are relaxing on the terrace. With Patio Move, you can block the rain by closing the louvers completely. Even during Fukuoka's rainy season or the long autumn rains, you can enjoy the sound of the rain on the terrace without getting your favorite outdoor furniture wet... that is the kind of lifestyle you can enjoy.
Aluminum construction for peace of mind even in coastal or high-wind areas
Fukuoka has many coastal areas, making measures against salt damage from sea breezes and strong winds essential. Patio Move is made of highly durable aluminum. Unlike wooden pergolas, there is no worry about rot, and periodic painting is unnecessary. The ability to maintain its beauty for a long time is directly linked to the cost-performance, which is extremely important in exterior construction.
3. Usage scenarios for Patio Move proposed by exterior professionals 'Shiki Kobo'
By installing Patio Move in your garden, your 'ordinary garden' will evolve into a 'multi-purpose room where the family gathers'.
1. As a weekend outdoor dining space
Fukuoka is a treasure trove of delicious ingredients. Enjoy a BBQ or brunch on the weekend with ingredients bought at a local market. Under the Patio Move, you can gather around the best dining table without worrying about the sun, while feeling the pleasant breeze.
2. An 'open-air office' where you can focus at home
Now that remote work has become established, you may sometimes feel stifled just staying inside the house. Adjust the louvers of the Patio Move and open your PC in light that isn't too dazzling. Working while feeling the sound of birds and the wind stimulates your creativity in a surprising way.
3. A 'night terrace' to enjoy the evening
Takasho is also an industry-leading manufacturer in 'lighting production.' If you combine lighting with Patio Move, your night garden will be reborn dramatically. Manually open the louvers slightly and enjoy a drink while gazing at the night sky. Such adult luxury can be realized at your home in Fukuoka.
4. Shiki Kobo's commitment: 'Technical skill' in the installation of Takasho products
We at Shiki Kobo have absolute confidence in the construction techniques we have cultivated over many years in Fukuoka.
When installing products that combine functionality and design like Patio Move, simply 'assembling' them is not enough.
Design that calculates 'harmony' with the building
The garden is also the face of the building. How to choose the color of the Patio Move (black, white, dark pine, etc.) to match the color of the building's sashes and the texture of the exterior walls. And what positional relationship with the existing building will make it the most beautiful and easy to use. At Shiki Kobo, we perform thorough simulations at the site survey stage and propose the best layout for our customers.
Foundation work is the lifeblood
The land in Fukuoka has different geological features depending on the location. At Shiki Kobo, we do not allow any compromises in the foundation work that supports the pillars of the Patio Move. Although it is an invisible part, not neglecting this is the basis for building a terrace that is resistant to typhoons and earthquakes and can be used with peace of mind for a long time.
Total coordination with tile and wood decks
We specialize in creating total spaces that include not just the Patio Move itself, but also the flooring beneath it (tiles, natural stone, artificial wood decks, etc.). We can provide the optimal answer based on our extensive construction experience for questions like, 'What kind of flooring material goes well with a Patio Move?'
5. For those considering 'Patio Move' in Fukuoka
'Can it be installed in my garden?' 'What is the estimated cost?' 'Is the manual operation really easy?'
If you have such questions, please feel free to contact Shiki Kobo.
We do not just sell products; we value 'what kind of daily life the customer wants to lead using that product.' Turning the handle of the Patio Move and watching the light stream in through the louvers... the customer's smile at that moment is the goal of our work.
