In a residential setting overlooking Lake Garda, NOVOWOOD® sliding panels become an integral part of the architecture, enhancing the buildings' aesthetics and outdoor spaces through a system of vertical screening elements.

Completed in 2024, the project features sliding panels with 60H40 WPC profiles, characterised by a regular vertical arrangement and a dark finish that blends seamlessly with the architectural elements of the residences.

The screens are installed along balconies and terraces, where the sliding mechanism allows residents to adjust the level of openness and privacy of their outdoor spaces. The panels make it possible to adapt the façade configuration to different needs while maintaining a consistent architectural appearance.

The sequence of vertical profiles creates a clean, contemporary architectural rhythm, complementing the buildings' light-coloured surfaces, traditional terracotta roofs and expansive views of the surrounding landscape. The dark finish of the screens introduces a modern contrast, enhancing the geometry of the buildings and the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The Lake Garda project demonstrates how NOVOWOOD® WPC sliding panels can be used to create functional, customisable architectural screening systems, combining privacy, design flexibility and aesthetics in a single solution.
