Sugarcane Restaurant

Custom Retractable Canopy

Miami, FL

 

The Client

For this project we got to work with the hip, Miami Midtown restaurant, Sugarcane. The restaurant has a great outdoor patio area for outdoor seating and a bar. The patio is covered with a very large wooden trellis over 100 feet long and projects 18’-4”, but it would lose revenue and customers whenever there would be rain, which is quite often during certain months of the year. They wanted a Weather and Shade solution that would give them the flexibility to open up the area when the weather was great or cover it when it would be too hot or rainy.

The Canopy

This project consists of multiple Iridium retractable canopy units installed over the patio area of a very popular restaurant. There are six sets of retractable canopies installed over the existing trellis of an outdoor restaurant patio. The fabric used for the project is Soltis W96 White. Soltis is translucent and allows for good light transmission during the day. The awning is calibrated to retract automatically if wind speeds are in excess of 30 mph.

The Outcome

The owner and staff love how the new retractable canopies provided the solution that they needed for their restaurant. Now they are able to use their outdoor bar and patio throughout the year, rain or shine. With their new retractable canopies, staff are able to leave some areas open to take advantage of great breezes and beautiful sky. The canopies make guests feel welcome, still giving a sense of openness and contribute to an unforgettable experience. Their outdoor area has always been a great choice for celebrating or relaxing with friends. With the canopies, now it can be any time of the year!

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.

1 Hotel Cabanas

1 Hotel - Custom Cabanas

Miami Beach, Florida

 

As a part of the remodel of the entire 1 Hotel, the owner wanted to create spaces that connect with nature and are an extension of the beautiful ocean shoreline. They wanted to create a place that is non-artificial with natural materials and textures, so one would feel at home with no room for stress. To achieve this they really wanted to have various styles of cabanas by all of the pool areas that would be special and serene.

Multiple pool decks were remodeled and the client wanted very special cabanas for the various areas. A total of 21 structures were fabricated and installed. (8) Pool deck cabanas with manually retractable Sunsure mesh tops. (6) lower mezzanine cabana roofs with gutter systems. (7) Roof top cabanas on the roof top pool deck. The lower mezzanine and roof top cabanas were made with Natura Digital White fabric.

The roof top cabanas are on the roof or 16th floor of the hotel. Bringing those structures to the top entailed special coordination of installers and crane services. Special care and “white glove” service was used to finish all of the cabanas!

This hotel/resort's guests can take a break and relax in cabanas throughout the resort. The cabanas on the main deck provide areas where guests can relax and enjoy the view, while still being close to the pool for a day of fun. The South pool deck cabanas offer guests intimate areas to relax or come together with friends and family close to the beach. The Roof top pool cabanas really offer areas for relaxation, tranquility and comfort. All of these nature inspired cabanas, create spaces for hotel guests to really relax and enjoy themselves, either alone or with friends and family. They also provide gorgeous views, along with shade and UV protection from the sun and other elements. These special cabanas make you just want to stay and relax; the purpose they were made for.

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.
