Retractable Motorized Pergola | Biscayne Bay, Miami

Set directly along the shores of Biscayne Bay, this commercial outdoor living project transforms a waterfront restaurant terrace into a fully adaptable dining destination, seamlessly blending architectural elegance with high-performance engineering.

Artepatio designed and installed a custom motorized retractable pergola system that allows the space to effortlessly transition from open-air waterfront dining to full weather protection at the touch of a button. Whether shielding guests from intense Miami sun, sudden rain, or opening fully to capture bay breezes and panoramic views, the pergola delivers comfort without compromising the visual connection to the water.

Engineered for coastal conditions, the structure features corrosion-resistant materials, precision motorization, and integrated drainage—ensuring durability, reliability, and smooth operation year-round. The clean-lined design complements the building’s modern architecture while maximizing seating capacity and operational flexibility for the restaurant.

The result is a high-impact commercial outdoor space that enhances guest experience, extends usable square footage, and elevates the property’s presence along one of Miami’s most iconic waterfront locations.
