A new motorized pergola Houston installation has transformed Katami’s outdoor dining space with a custom patio enclosure featuring commercial glass panels and a premium aluminum canopy.
Katami, one of Houston’s most acclaimed Japanese restaurants, recently transformed its outdoor dining space with a fully customized motorized pergola and commercial glass patio enclosure installed by String Lights Outdoor. Located near the heart of River Oaks, Montrose, Upper Kirby, and the Shepherd corridor, Katami now offers guests an elevated all-season outdoor dining experience that blends luxury, comfort, and modern engineering.
This project showcases how high-end restaurants in Houston can enhance their patios with advanced weatherproof systems designed to match premium architectural standards.
A Luxury Upgrade for a High-End Restaurant
Katami’s management team wanted a solution that would:
-
Provide a weatherproof, four-season patio for guests
-
Enhance comfort during Houston’s heat, humidity, and sudden rain
-
Maintain a modern aesthetic fitting for the River Oaks and Downtown dining scene
-
Expand seating capacity without compromising design
To meet these goals, our team created a custom outdoor enclosure combining a motorized louvered pergola, motorized commercial glass guillotine panels, and a clean, durable aluminum canopy structure.
The result is a comfortable, visually striking patio enclosure that transitions smoothly between open-air dining and a fully enclosed space depending on weather conditions.
