Outdoor rooms for family time and entertaining. Louvre roofs, decks and patios, kitchens, fire, lighting and landscape, designed as part of your home and built by one team.
Investing in quality family time.
Rates exclude GST and include an estimated install, confirmed once we have your exact location and a site visit or photos.
Start with a louvre roof, or let us deliver the whole outdoor room. Every part is designed together and built under one fixed price.
Opening and retractable roofs with blinds, heaters, LED lighting and rain sensors.
Timber decks, concrete patios, paving and steps, levelled to the house.
Stormwater and surface drainage, planned with the roof gutters and downpipes.
Drawings, 3D, engineering and building consent by our LBP-led design team.
Barbecue benches and full kitchens, with power, gas and water planned in.
Outdoor fireplaces and radiant heaters for the cooler evenings.
Perimeter LED, feature and garden lighting, so the space works after dark.
Built-in seating, privacy screens and drop-down blinds.
Landscape design, planting and lawn to finish the space around the room.
Choose MOTE Studio, with blades that tilt for light and air, or MOTE Sky, with blades that slide away completely.
From the first conversation to the first evening outside, with a fixed price before anything is ordered.
How it works in detail
Tell us your budget, then pick a size and the extras, see it in plan and 3D on your house, get a price straight away and download the drawings.
Tell us about your place and how your family likes to entertain. We’ll meet on site or by video, talk through the options, and confirm the design fee before anything else.
Powder-coated aluminium blades on a motorised frame. Open them for sun and air, close them when it rains, and let the rain sensor look after things while you’re out.
Every roof is supplied and installed by us. The difference is how it’s made and how it opens.
System MH210
The blades tilt anywhere from shut to fully open, so you can dial in the shade and let warm air out on a still day. Closed, it’s watertight, with the gutters tucked inside the frame.
It’s the one most people choose for a covered alfresco.
System MH228
The blades slide back and stack neatly at one end, leaving the whole roof open to the sky. They don’t tilt, so it’s either open or closed.
Lovely over a pool or spa, or anywhere you want the full summer sun.
Fixed to one or more walls, the roof needs fewer posts and feels like part of the house. Freestanding, it can go anywhere on the section: over a spa, at the end of the garden, beside the pool.
We engineer every roof for its own site. Any open edge longer than 6 metres gets a post at its centre. A freestanding roof needs an intermediate beam past 6 metres; fixed to the house, it can run to 8. Over 30 m² you’ll need a building consent, and we prepare and lodge it for you.
Coming soon. We’re getting ready to design and install outdoor kitchens and fireplaces alongside our roofs, so you can cook and keep the conversation going without running back inside.
If you’re putting a roof in now, tell us and we’ll run power, gas and water ready for a kitchen later.
Recent MOTE Home roofs and outdoor rooms, from small courtyards to complete spaces for family time and entertaining.
A retractable louvre roof set into the corner between two wings of the house. Drop-down screens close in the open sides, radiant heaters warm the table, and LED lighting runs around the frame, so the family can use it well into the evening, all year.
Our simplest outdoor shelter: a kitset louvre pergola in a set size, with blades you open and close by hand crank. Choose a size and colour and tell us where you are. Prices include an estimated install, confirmed once we know your exact location.
The complete outdoor room, for families who want more than a roof. We design the whole space around how you cook, gather and host, then build it with one team and one fixed price.
The louvre roof is the centrepiece. Around it, we design and deliver every part of the outdoor room, so it all fits together the first time.
You deal with us, not a list of trades. We design the space, take care of the consent, and project manage every builder, concreter, drainlayer, electrician and landscaper on the job.
You get one fixed price, one point of contact and one weekly update, from the first sketch to the first evening outside.
Meet, Design, Consent, Build, Gather
A complete outdoor room is an investment in the evenings, weekends and celebrations your family will spend there. Bespoke projects usually start from $50,000. Your concept design gives you a budget range before you commit, and the design fee is credited to your build.

Your roof is over 30 m². A roof this size needs a building consent. We prepare and lodge it as part of the job, and the consent fees are quoted separately.
Meet, Design, Consent, Build, Gather. One team from the first conversation to the first evening outside, with a fixed price for the whole job before anything is ordered.
Most roofs take six to twelve weeks from signed design to finished install. Complete outdoor rooms and consented work take a little longer.
A free 30-minute consultation on site or by video. We want to know how your family uses the space: who cooks, where people gather, and how you like to entertain.
We design the space as part of your home, in plan and 3D, with a budget alongside. Once you’re happy, we settle the details and price the whole job.
A roof over 30 m² needs a building consent. Our LBP-led design team prepares the drawings and engineering, lodges them with your council and handles their questions.
We order the roof and book every trade in the order the job needs them. Our crew installs the roof, and we manage the builders, concreters, drainlayers, electricians and landscapers around it.
We hand over the space ready to use, walk you through every control, and leave you with your warranty and care guide. Then it’s time for the first evening outside.
One price for the whole job, from the first drawings to handover.
We install across Taranaki, Manawatū-Whanganui and Wairarapa. Further afield, we design and supply the roof, and your builder installs it using our drawings and install guide.
Where we install
If the roof is over 30 m², yes. The designer on this site tells you when you go over, and we prepare and lodge the consent for you.
Your roof is drawn and engineered for your house, which is what lets us give you a fixed price you can rely on.
Yes. That’s MOTE Bespoke. We design the whole outdoor room and manage every trade, or we can plan services now so you can add a kitchen or fire later.
Every roof comes with a rain sensor that closes it automatically. Add a wind sensor and the blades move to a safe position when it gets gusty.
It’s a guide based on size and options. Your fixed price comes after the site visit and final design.
Product data and typical details for our made-to-measure louvre roofs, for designers, builders and building consent applications.
These are typical details. Each project gets its own drawings, and fixings, footings and wind design are confirmed by a Chartered Professional Engineer for the site. For a consent pack for your project, get in touch.
We design, consent, supply and install right across Taranaki, Manawatū-Whanganui and Wairarapa. Anywhere else in New Zealand, we supply the roof and kitchen to your builder.
Investing in quality family time starts with a conversation. Tell us about your space, how you’d like to use it and your budget, and we’ll call to arrange a consultation.
Design is a paid stage, and we’ll confirm the fee once we’ve seen the site.
