Since March 2026, MS Design has been quietly rolling out a new generation of Italian-engineered outdoor living systems across Northern Ireland, bringing resort-grade comfort and design to residential gardens and commercial terraces alike. Drawing on over 40 years of European innovation in bioclimatic pergolas, retractable roofs, awnings and zip screens, this collection allows us to offer fully integrated, four-season shading solutions that sit perfectly alongside our interior design and surface material ranges.
Why this partnership matters
For our clients, this new collaboration means access to a complete family of outdoor structures that combine architectural lines, robust aluminium construction and advanced weather management in one coherent system.
Instead of piecing together separate products, we can now design outdoor spaces where the pergola, shading, lighting and fabric elements are all designed to work together from day one.
What sets the collection apart
At the heart of the range are bioclimatic pergolas with adjustable aluminium louvres that can open to invite sunlight or close to create watertight shelter from rain, all controlled at the touch of a button.
Complementary retractable pergolas, cassette awnings and high-performance zip screens extend this flexibility, allowing us to tailor each scheme to the exact exposure, orientation and use of the space.
Design and performance for Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland’s weather demands systems that can handle sudden showers, low sun and coastal winds, and this collection has been tested to stringent European performance standards to cope with exactly those conditions.
From sheltered courtyards in Belfast to exposed rural sites, we can specify structures with integrated drainage, wind resistance and fabric performance that keep outdoor areas usable far beyond the summer months.
Integrated lighting, automation and comfort
These outdoor living systems are designed to be as comfortable in the evening as they are at noon, with options for integrated LED lighting, radiant heating and motorised side screens controlled via remote or smart home integration.
For hospitality projects, that means longer trading hours and more consistent guest comfort; for homeowners, it means a genuine extension of the living space rather than a seasonal add-on.
How this fits the MS Design approach
Because MS Design already specialises in high-end interior finishes, decorative panelling and bespoke furniture, this partnership lets us take a “inside-out” design approach where interior and exterior spaces share a common language of materials and detailing. We can coordinate pergola finishes, fabrics and lighting with interior schemes, creating seamless transitions from kitchen or living spaces out to covered terraces and garden rooms.
What this means for future projects
This launch article will be the first in a series of case studies and technical features showing how these systems perform in real Northern Ireland homes and commercial projects.
Over the coming months we’ll share completed installations, design details and practical guidance on planning, permissions and specification to help clients and professionals understand what’s possible with modern outdoor living systems.
If you’re planning a new outdoor space, or looking to upgrade an existing terrace with a bioclimatic pergola, awning or zip screen system, you can book a design consultation with MS Design to explore concepts, finishes and budget options.
We’re currently scheduling projects for 2026 and 2027 and can advise at any stage—from initial ideas through to detailed design and installation.
