Ve Cafe| Vertical Retracting Windows Offer Extraordinary Views

Ve Cafe

Panora Vertical Retracting Windows for Ve Cafe? Ve Café, located in an enviable Istanbul location, boasts an outstanding view that invites customers to linger—but its existing windows failed to live up to the café’s full potential. Traditional windows featured center vertical profiles that obstructed panoramic views. They required floor space to operate and were paired with weather-dependent screens that demanded manual handling. Worst of all, each window needed a staff member to open or close it, sacrificing prime customer seating and detracting from the experience. The result? Lost floor space, visual interruptions, and an underutilized waterfront atmosphere that failed to fully captivate guests. Ve Café needed a transformative solution that would:

Eliminate visual barriers while preserving wind and weather protection
Free up floor space currently reserved for window operation
Reinstate full control of the atmosphere with minimal staff effort
Enhance customer comfort and maximize revenue opportunities

Panora Vertical Retracting Windows

Meanwhile, back in 2013, when Libart, Stoett, was busy in researching and innovating retracting products to improve architecture with motion, Ve Café connected and asked for a solution. This was the first time that the Panora automatic guillotine window design and installment were used at the facility of one of our clients. The results were fantastic and more than met the expectations. Vertical retracting windows that don’t take any additional space, adding the feature of a large span with no vertical frame bringing in more light to the environment and creating a unique experience has just been amazing! This environment had really not been utilized to its full potential until now; offering panoramic views, comfortability and freedom.

Furthermore, the manager of the Ve Cafe said that we have increased our sales, in massive amounts, after having the Panoramic windows installed. Customers are happier with the ambiance and environment. We are offering an unparalleled experience to our competitors. We have the control in our hands for weather and all the café windows can open and close on a push of a button.

Benefits & Impact

1. Restored Panoramic View & Spacious Design

The removal of vertical profiles dramatically uncluttered sightlines, offering guests an immersive view over the skyline or waterfront. The café’s interior felt larger and more cohesive, thanks to the floor-space-saving vertical retraction.

2. Effortless Weather Control

Staff can now manage the environment with ease—opening or closing all windows simultaneously at the first hint of rain. No more reassigning staff or inconveniencing guests .

3. Increased Sales & Enhanced Ambiance

The café reported a significant uptick in sales directly tied to the new window system. Patrons responded positively to the improved aesthetics and flexible environment, describing the experience as superior to that of competing venues.

4. Competitive Differentiation

By being the first in their market to use this automatic Panora system, Ve Café distinguished itself in a crowded hospitality scene. The upgraded environment boosted online visibility and bolstered customer loyalty.

5. Scalable Success

The seamless installation served as a springboard for future Panora deployments—both within Ve Café and at additional hospitality properties.

By adopting the Panora vertically retracting windows, Ve Café completely transformed its underutilized patio. The solution not only restored the panoramic view, but also reclaimed seating space, simplified weather response, and boosted customer experience—driving tangible increases in revenue. This project marked the beginning of a fruitful relationship between Libart/Stoett and hospitality venues worldwide, proving that well-engineered design can exponentially enhance both form and function.
