Engle Building

Commercial Lean-to Awnings

Coconut Grove, Florida

 

This project entails a total building renovation in the charming Coconut Grove area. Previously, barrel shaped awnings were on the entire façade of the building; making it look old and dated now. The client wanted to totally redesign the building to make an entirely new façade and that included updating the awnings. Their goal was to renovate and create a cultural hub in this main street of Coconut Grove. For the building they wanted to have a mix of local business and keep with the artistic fabric of the community. They wanted the building and awnings to be new, modern and artistic.

(12) New stationary awnings of various sizes were designed for the building’s east, north and west facades. The awnings were fabricated with Natura in: Black, Navy and Digital White. Custom stripes were made to go vertically or horizontally. The color patterns vary for each awning. Each awning has an 8” wrap around valance in black Natura, for signage now or in the future. By creating the custom stripes, the awnings are more artistic, but this also ensures that the colors of the stripes will not fade as quickly. This is an important feature in the tropical climate of the region. Innovative construction methods were used to measure, design and fabricate the awnings so that installation would be able to be quickly accomplished.

Although these look like they are simple awnings, they have many special features. For the frame structure, special telescoping brackets had to be made, as the distance to the wall varies throughout the structure. The architect wanted custom stripes that would run, either vertically or horizontally. For each awning there was a variation of color patterns, whether this is horizontal or vertical. To achieve this extremely accurate measurements and special attention to detail would be necessary.

The building looks totally different from the way it looked before. It was featured in the local newspaper and online. This building renovation has really shown how awnings add to the character and charm of a neighborhood. The use of the new awnings have updated the look of this main corner of the community. The awnings also provide protection from the rain and UV protection for the retail merchants. These awnings have helped to make this dated building look new, dynamic and fresh.

The Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne Ballroom Patio

 

The Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne - Custom Retractable Canopy

Key Biscayne, FL

 

This project features a very special set of large retractable canopies for The Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne. The client has a patio area off of the Grand Ballroom that overlooks the grounds leading to the Atlantic Ocean. It is contracted for outdoor weddings and events and previously needed to have a back-up tent rental in the case of inclement weather. This was always an extra cost and add-on; another thing for event planners to deal with, as well as very cumbersome. These beautiful retractable canopies were designed to replace the rental tents, so that at the touch of the remote, the space can now be transformed with overhead coverage for rain or heat. Drop down screens, also keep out blowing rain, cut down wind and keep out insects.

A custom combination of three B-Space Corradi units were constructed for a combined length of 114’-0” x 24’-9”. This is installed over the Grand Ballroom Patio area. It includes a rigid frame buildout from the building at the left side to meet the back of the Corradi unit, extending to the far outside of the patio. The project also includes 12 Titan Screen drop down screens around the perimeter of the front and sides.

This resort hotel is always very busy, so the project had to be installed within a 10 day window. This was done in phases and quickly installed around events. Now the ballroom patio area is functional with an additional large area that is good during sunshine, rain or beautiful moonlit nights. They now have total flexibility. There are no more problems with the storage of tents and the manpower needed to assemble and disassemble them. The ballroom retractable canopies for The Ritz Carlton are attractive and distinctive; allowing all sorts of décor for weddings and events throughout the year.

Brooklyn Water Bagel

Brooklyn Water Bagel - Retractable Awning

Downtown Ft. Lauderdale

 

 

The owner of Brooklyn Water Bagel wanted to expand the seating area for their new location in downtown Ft. Lauderdale. The Corradi Impact retractable system used allows the flexibility to have the outdoor area covered or open when the weather is great. This custom design has a special front truss and a special beam was placed for fans so nothing will interfere with the beautiful Eclissi fabric above. The project was painted a special antique bronze to reflect and old Brooklyn look.

Now, those working downtown stand in line to get their great food and the area under the outdoor retractable canopy provides the protection and ambiance for patrons to gather for coffee, meals, snacks, or down time.

Kaluz Restaurant

Commercial Restractable Restuarant Awnings

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

 

The client has an exceptional waterfront restaurant featuring indoor and outdoor dining. They have the perfect waterfront location, but really needed shade and weather protection for this area. They wanted something retractable that would be large enough to cover the area, fit well with their modern architecture and be strong enough for waterfront breezes.

This project features (3) Stobag retractable awnings for the patio area of an exceptional waterfront restaurant. A special roof structure support was made to attach the Stobag Jumbo to the Bar building. This was mounted on the rooftop structure with a protective hood. The two other retractable awnings were attached under existing frame structures. The fabric needed to be pulled back and support members had to be welded in to support the retractable awning units. The remote controlled motorized awnings make it easy for the client to adjust the awnings to how far they would like the awnings to project.

Day or night these retractable awnings have really enhanced the outside space for great meeting spaces, happy hours, lunches, special occasions or dinners alfresco. The retractable awnings add style and shade and provide coverage for when the sun is at its hottest or when it is raining. The awnings truly enhance this beautiful restaurant’s setting, creating a wonderful hot spot in the neighborhood. They provide protection from rain, as well as UV protection too.
