When Manuel Rolli talks about his project, you know straightaway that it’s not just about the high level of technical competence for him – he has a real passion for his work. Perhaps this is why his company SONNEO is so successful. In just a short time, SONNEO has established itself as a renowned specialist provider of slatted roofs. Using their vast experience and maintaining high quality standards, Manuel Rolli and his team create impressive terrace canopies that stand out due to their sophisticated design solution and intelligent functionality. With the aim of creating outdoor areas which can be used in almost any weather and at any time of the year.
Is it the same for you too? As soon as the temperature rises, I move outdoors. But I often find I don’t stay out long on the terrace. Sometimes there’s an unpleasantly brisk wind; sometimes it’s too hot in the direct sun; sometimes it suddenly starts to rain. Then you have to pack up your cushions or pillows, drink and book again and go back inside. Or not: Because under a SONNEO SO! slatted roof, you can simply stay comfortably sitting where you are. Manuel Rolli shows me how: At the touch of a button, the slats move into the ideal position for shade or into a totally shut position. Side awnings can be shut down or, depending on the model, sliding glass or wooden panels closed, all without making a sound. And for particularly discerning customers, there’s more: In the supporting columns, I discover practical power sockets as well as USB hubs and Bluetooth audio speakers. Infrared heating provides warmth and comfort while you use the projector connection and the integrated screen for a private cinema evening or enjoy a romantic evening under the magical, starlit sky of countless small LED spots. SONNEO plans and builds the slatted roofs either as an extension solution or free-standing, depending on what your current building situation is. There are virtually no limits to the possibilities and sizes available; just the planning permission has to be obtained from the responsible authorities beforehand. The technical planning documents for this are prepared by SONNEO – as well as all the other comprehensive services required for the construction and building. One thing is for certain: The design in sophisticated anthracite would look perfect on our terrace. It’s a rather lovely thought, to extend our own living space outside, furnish it comfortably and enjoy spending our time out there in the sun and in the evening. And of course, the starlit sky would be a must.
‘Outside is the new inside’: That’s the motto of this company founded by Manuel Rolli that specialises in technologically high-quality, custom-made sun protection solutions. The company focuses in particular on slatted roofs, the core of their product portfolio. In searching for the perfect high-end solution, SONNEO was founded in Belgium and offers a customised version of the slatted roof SO! from the renowned manufacturer Winsol. The linear design of the aluminium model perfectly suits a modern style of architecture. The three versions available, Star, Chic and Cosy, stand out due to their structural flexibility and offer various options in terms of colour, surface and technical extensions. SONNEO not only focuses on producing products of the highest quality – you can also expect outstanding performance and first-class service in their planning and design process too: Project planning and construction technology, foundations and power installations, implementation and functional testing all come from a single source. The many impressive testimonials – and the increasing number of SONNEO exhibition locations, where you can see the technology for yourself and fall in love with it – show that SONNEO can truly accomplish everything they claim to. SO! this is how outdoor living is today.
