This is why solutions that combine partition elements, planting and comfort in one system come highly recommended – especially if they are quick and easy to set up. With the Modular Ventus plant box, Richard Brink GmbH & Co. KG offers a modular system that has been specifically designed to satisfy these requirements, particularly with an eye to outdoor food-service areas.
Modular system for structured outdoor spaces
Through its combination of robust plant box and integrated partition walls, the Modular Ventus establishes clear structures. It is made from 1.5mm-thick aluminium, corten steel or stainless steel and is designed for continuous use in highly frequented areas. The partition walls can be fitted with either clear or satin glass panels, positioned above the plant box, either to one side or across the middle. This protects guests effectively against prying eyes and blustery days, while delineating open-air dining areas such as beer gardens and terraces from their wider surroundings without losing the open feel of the outdoor space. The box can hold plants on one or both sides depending on where the partition wall is positioned.
More seating, more comfort, more privacy
For outdoor gastronomy areas in particular, the Modular Ventus supports the efficient use of space while also making for a more pleasant dining experience for guests. The modules can be connected to form a row or a corner, thus building clearly defined seating areas. A special version is also available that features a high-quality seat made from steamed and oiled acacia wood which fully covers the plant box, creating seating and quiet areas. This combination of partition element and greenery or seating function boosts privacy, reduces disturbances and increases guests’ dwell time. The flexible construction enables seating arrangements and spatial concepts to be adapted or expanded as and when required.
Plenty of design freedom for maximum individuality
The Modular Ventus is available in a width of 440mm and predefined lengths of between 630mm and 2,000mm. The plant box comes in a height of 400mm or 650mm, while the total height measures 1,650mm as standard or, alternatively, can be produced to stand 1,450mm or 1,850mm tall. Aluminium versions come powder-coated in traffic white (RAL 9016) or iron mica (DB 703), with additional RAL, DB and NCS colours possible in line with project specifications. As an optional extra, the plant boxes manufactured by Richard Brink can also be insulated using Styrodur to protect their contents against heat and frost. All variants can be individually designed and ordered to specific dimensions using an online configurator on the manufacturer’s website.
The Modular Ventus was developed as a versatile system that allows not only gastronomy businesses to clearly structure their outdoor spaces; it also helps shape open-air spaces on private terraces. The product’s modular compatibility, the mix of privacy screen, greenery and seating function, and the option to have it individually made to measure all facilitate a beautifully designed terrace or outdoor space that is functional, flexible and mindful of the day-to-day operations of a gastronomy business.
