Expanded the patio. Kept the vibe.

Honey Moon Spirit Lounge patio with striped retractable Roman shades
Honey Moon Spirit Lounge, W 34th Street, Austin. Installed May 2026 — project photography in progress.

The challenge

Make the patio bigger without breaking the spell.

Honey Moon Spirit Lounge runs on atmosphere — a vintage, intimate cocktail bar where the look is the point. The owners wanted more usable outdoor space through brutal Texas afternoons, but anything overhead had to hold up the aesthetic, not fight it. Umbrellas couldn't do either job.

The response

Black-and-white stripes, open to the stars.

We built two side-by-side retractable Roman shade systems in a black-and-white stripe that reads as part of the bar's design rather than an addition to it. The cables needed a steel support structure, so we fabricated a custom one and blended it into the decor — it's barely noticeable.

Closed, the patio stays comfortable through the heat of the afternoon. Open, guests sit under the night sky. The lounge now uses its expanded patio from open to close, all season long.

In detail.
