Insulated flyover patio, Wynnum
A roof lifted above the existing roofline to keep light in the rooms behind it.
Illustrative example. This case study stands in for a confirmed Sunstate job while the real project details and photography are being finalised. It is representative of the work, not a record of a specific build.
What the job needed
A low-set home where a patio attached under the existing gutter line would have blacked out the two rooms behind it. That is the trade-off nobody mentions until the structure is up and the living room has gone dark.
What we built
A flyover: the roof mounts above the existing roofline rather than under it, so daylight still reaches the windows and air moves through the gap. Insulated panel, because the space faces north-west and gets the full afternoon.
Council
A flyover is taller than a skillion, so mean height matters more here and the application gets looked at more closely. Lodged with Brisbane City Council and approved.
