This is a beautifully elegant patio canopy that was designed, fabricated and installed for the patio terrace of the Zurra Restaurant.  It's a uniquely designed canopy because of the building's many projections and features; such as a round terrace area and a semicircular wall.  The canopy's perimeter was designed to take in all of the property's variables and harmonize them into a canopy that sets this apart from the others.  The entire project is fabricated out of marine grade aluminum and is engineered to the Florida Building Code.  Innovatiove construction methods were used to measure, design and fabricate the canopy so installation would be quick and less labor intensive.  The entire perimeter of the canopy also has roll-up curtains that are hidden in the design of the canopy and are easy to open in the event of inclement weather. 

This canopy created a space that is creative and sophisticated.  Patrons enjoy an exquisite environment of dining with an awe inspiring views that truly complements the architecture of all of the surrounding buildings.  Fabric:  Coastline Plus by Weblon Inc.  from TriVantage LLC

This project consists of a total of 41 canopies and awnings.  A special Valet Entrance Canopy, walkway canopy and connector, and awnings on windows.  Awnings and canopies were added to revitalize the landmark restaurant Monty's along with supporting offices, shops and marina.  The entrance canopy was designed to allow delivery trucks or emergency vehicles to proceed under the canopy.  Traffic and patrons to the restaurant and marina flow freely with the canopy and walkway canopy.  The canopy is spacious and nautical elements were added, like wrapping the posts with rope.  This project shows how many different kinds of awnings and canopies can be used on a project to really make a property work, while staying in budget.
