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!

Tap 42

Large Custom Canopy

Miami, FL

 

The Client

Our client was debuting a new restaurant in the vibrant Midtown Miami area. There was an extensive patio area they wanted to utilize to create an outdoor seating area and bar, creating an exciting place that would draw customers from the neighborhood and also provide shade and weather protection from the heat and rain.

The Canopy

This project consists of a very large custom outdoor patio lean-to style canopy for the newest Tap 42 Restaurant and Bar in Midtown Miami. The canopy is located over the outside patio seating area and bar at street level. Unlike the traditional fabric awning structural design, the project was designed using a tubular structure. All of the fabric attachment was concealed as best as possible to provide a seamless transition between the fabric and the structure. The structure is not just rectangular in shape, but was designed to conform to the existing contours of the building.

The Outcome

Our client is extremely satisfied with the final end product! The opening debut and their new location is a success! The various large structural elements of the canopy were utilized for other features of the restaurant needed, such as mounts for large screen tv’s, speakers, ceiling fans and fire sprinklers. The new canopy covers the outdoor patio and bar and really has been what they needed with all of the extensive rain that the area has experienced. The canopy has contributed to making a great space for lunch, social gatherings, and patio dining throughout the day.

Grill on the Alley

Commercial Restaurant Freestanding Structures

Aventura, Florida

 

This project is a combination of 5 various free standing pyramid structures.

The client has a thriving well known restaurant that features indoor and outdoor seating. They wanted to create two areas for outdoor seating, one for smoking and one for non-smoking. The client desired to use outdoor umbrellas, but wanted something that wouldn’t need to be worried about when winds would pick up. The solution for this application was custom non-collapsible engineered fabric structures with the look of umbrellas.

The cupolas in the structures provide ventilation to keep the areas under the structures cool throughout the day. The bronze paint finish completes the traditional look that ties in with the décor of the steakhouse. Sunbrella natural fabric completes the look of a traditional Classic American Grill.

This client likes to keep up with the latest trends and provide exciting menus and venues throughout the year for their patrons. The client is pleased to now be able to offer outdoor seating that they do not have to worry about. The fabric structures provide the perfect setting for private cocktails and appetizers on the outdoor sofas or areas with dining tables. They also provide an area perfect for outdoor receptions and events.

Woody’s West End Tavern

Commercial Restaurant Canopy

Miami Springs, Florida

 

This is a project designed for an outdoor terrace of a local tavern and casual eating establishment. The original building has been around since 1948. It was a small grocery and then became Woody’s Tavern in the 1950’s – a local watering hole. In 2010, the property was acquired by another owner and now named Woody’s Westend Tavern. The client has been renovating the property and now wanted to cover the space with canopies instead of just using umbrellas. He had visited a restaurant where our firm had designed an outdoor canopy for a restaurant. He liked the design and wanted a series of the canopies for his space. The owner wanted his patrons to be able to enjoy the outdoors under a shaded canopy that keeps their clients cool and protected from inclement weather. He also wanted to be able to use the space for various events throughout the year. Instead of just one basic canopy structure; the canopy is made up of (3) arched canopies. The client didn’t want posts, so he had his contractor install beams that would be used for the support of the framework. The design of the canopy was inspired by the owner seeing one of our other canopy installations and modifying the design for his establishment. This project works well with the outdoor surfing theme of the tavern. The 3 canopies look like waves overhead. The canopies harmonize all of the surrounding elements and create an outdoor space that is so versatile. It can be used for relaxing venues or great for dining and watching exciting sporting events!

Innovative construction methods were used to measure, design and fabricate the canopy so that installation would be able to be quickly accomplished. The canopy is designed to accommodate lights, ceiling fans and drop down curtains or screens in the future in the event of inclement weather.

The customer is very happy with the results of the project. The canopies provide shade and sun protection for all of their guests all year around. The owner and employees say that it is wonderful! Now patrons can sit outside and enjoy themselves anytime of the year. It is the perfect place to hold any type of gathering such as local community events, parties and sporting events. The atmosphere invites you to come in and enjoy the moment and be our guest! The Mayor of the community loves the addition of the canopy. People drive by and take photos. These new canopies create a wonderful oasis to enjoy oneself with friends and locals at Woody’s Westend Tavern; while getting great food and drink in the community.
