summer sun

Hi, do you need to somehow cover this space during summer?
trees foliage provide enough shade?
how do you prevent excess heat to accumulate inside?

    Yes, you are right: the nearby trees provide quite a lot of shade. We also installed two electrically operated extractors within the ridge (you can see one of them between the pendant light and the circular speaker). However as far as I know our clients rarely find the need to use these and they simply open the doors when some cooling is needed....

    Hope this helps!

    All the best
