Dead space that trades all year.
A beer garden only earns when it is dry. A retractable glasshouse turns that same ground into covered, heated, bookable space that trades whatever the forecast does.
The River Inn, Houston. Covered seating where there was open ground.
The commercial case
Dead space is the smartest space you will ever add.
You already own the ground. You already hold the licence. A glasshouse turns an area that works two weeks a year into one that works fifty two weeks a year, without extending the building.
One team delivers the whole project.
You are not appointing a structure supplier and then finding groundworkers, sparkies and a joiner yourself. We price and run the lot.

Built for how a venue actually trades
Service, weddings, private hire and quiet Tuesday lunches all want different things from the same footprint. The roof and panels let one space do all of it.
Who this works for
Anywhere with outdoor ground and a reason to protect it from the weather.
Beyond hospitality
If you run another kind of business or organisation with outdoor space, tell us how you would use it.
One structure, opened three ways.
The roof runs back on itself in sections, the side doors fold flat against the frame and the end opens right out, so on a warm evening it is a terrace and on a wet one it is a room. Every photograph here is The River Inn on one July afternoon.
