Outdoor Living Transformed with SunPivot® at Hobsonville Point

24 November 2025 by Dan Rawling

Creating a comfortable outdoor space is essential for modern homes, especially in a modern medium-density development where every square metre matters. At Hobsonville Point, HomePlus North Shore recently delivered a stunning example of how the SunPivot® Louvre Roof system can be custom-made to suit existing architecture.

Unlike traditional standalone, wall or soffit-fixed roofs, this SunPivot® was integrated directly into the home’s existing framework, blending seamlessly with the architecture. The result? A stylish, functional outdoor area that feels like an extension of the interior without compromising space or aesthetics.

Year-Round Comfort at Your Fingertips

The SunPivot® system features automated pivoting louvre blades, enabling the homeowners' flexible control over sunlight, airflow, and weather protection with the touch of a button. Whether you’re enjoying summer breezes or sheltering from rain, this smart design ensures the outdoor space is usable all year round.

Built for Performance and Peace of Mind

Every SunPivot® roof is custom-made to suit a home’s structure, meeting requirements for span, wind loading, drainage, and council compliance. With a Producer Statement (PS1) available, the process is streamlined for both new builds and retrofits.

Style Meets Functionality

This Hobsonville Point installation included integrated LED lighting, which has created a striking look after dark. The owner has already noticed strong interest from neighbours with similar home designs, further proof that a well-designed outdoor space is an attractive proposition and can add meaningful value.

Flexible Options for Future Upgrades

Looking to take your outdoor living even further? Pair SunPivot® with Glaslide® glass panels, SolarZip® blinds, or Louvrelite® 88 aluminium infills for even greater comfort and seasonal usability.

SunPivot® Key Features:
• Custom-made in New Zealand
• Automated louvre control
• Integrated guttering and sleek detailing
• Suitable for new builds or retrofits
