Precision outdoor architecture for more ambitious spaces.
ARKEN is Apollo's architectural louvre platform for custom residential, hospitality, resort and commercial projects. It covers premium rotating roofs, retracting open-sky technology, reduced-column large spans, multi-bay structures, glass enclosure and selected retrofit roofs.
Where ARKEN sits
Not another kitset pergola.
AEGIS PRIME remains Apollo's modular / kitset louvre pathway. ARKEN starts where the project becomes more architectural: bespoke dimensions, heavier structures, wider spans, fewer columns, linked bays, retracting louvres, integrated glass and commercial or resort-scale planning.

Explore systemFlagship technology
Open-sky means more than tilting the blades.
The flagship ARKEN retractable pathway combines louvre rotation with physical roof retraction. The current manufacturing reference uses 6063-T5 aluminium, a motorised roof with up to 90° blade rotation, a published four-post reference of up to 4 × 6 m, integrated drainage and lighting pathways.

Build hospitality and resort spaces as linked architecture.
Current heavy-duty platform data includes reduced-column 4 × 10 m dual-bay reference layouts and a rain-focused platform with published 4.5 × 7 m four-post and 9 × 6.5 m six-post configurations. Final structure is always project-specific.
Large-span & multi-bayEnclosure
Glass, screens and side control planned with the structure.
The current frameless-glass pathway includes tempered and laminated options with reference panels up to 1000 × 2600 mm. VELARIS remains Apollo's dedicated blind brand; compatible screen integration can be coordinated into ARKEN projects without turning ARKEN into a blind catalogue.
