An architectural structure comprising retractable and moveable louvres comprising: a frame having a rear end, a front end and a pair of side walls connecting the front end and the rear end; a plurality of louvres extending substantially between the side walls, at least one end of the louvres being mounted to a gearbox member for controlling the angular orientation of the louvre, each gearbox member is mounted upon a track extending substantially along a length of at least one side wall and at least one of the gearbox members is mounted to a belt driven by a drive pulley to move said at least one gearbox member along said track; wherein, each gearbox member is attached to an adjacent gearbox member by way of a connector, whereby a length of the connector extending between adjacent gearbox members is constant such that when the louvres are in an extended position, the spacing between the louvres is maintained at a predetermined distance.
