Morritts Hotel & Resort

Custom Retractable Canopy

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

 

The Client

This client has two patio areas overlooking the water off of the dining room of David’s Deep Blue Restaurant, there at the Morritt’s Resort. The restaurant is right on the water, with breath taking views overlooking the Caribbean Sea. This area is used throughout the year for outdoor breakfasts, dining and special events. Located in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, in the Tropics; the client needed sun and weather protection so their guests could still enjoy eating alfresco anytime.

The Canopy

This project features a custom Corradi B-Space retractable canopy that is installed over the right outside veranda area of David’s Deep Blue Restaurant at the Morritt’s Resort, in Grand Cayman. The frame structure, components and fabric are all white including White Eclissi fabric. Special Pergotenda lights are pre-wired throughout this canopy. They are for outdoor use and come with 4 pre-set intensity levels and dimmer. They are perfectly integrated with the retractable canopy system.

The Outcome

This custom retractable canopy transformed the outdoor veranda area into just what the client needed and wanted. The area is now usable throughout the year. Guests can enjoy the breath taking views without the intense heat of the sun. Special occasions and events booked at the restaurant do not have to be cancelled, because bookings can be kept rain or shine. The restaurant now has total flexibility to open or close the canopy at the touch of a button. Guests will make memories and enjoy their vacation in a “Piece of Paradise”. This retractable system was the perfect solution for the resort's casual, yet elegant atmosphere. They love it so much, they ordered another canopy for the other patio space to the left!

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!

Cafe Beignet

Custom Retractable Canopy

New Orleans, LA

 

This project features a custom shade solution for Cafe Beignet, located just off of Burbon Street in New Orleans. The client wanted it's customers to enjoy the gorgeous courtyard, rain or shine. A custom retractable canopy protects customers from the elements and allow the space to maintain a lively feel all day long. 

Miami Awning designed and fabricated a custom frame to cover the entire courtyard. Attached to the frame is a Corradi retractable awning system. The Corradi System is an easy to open and close, retractable awning system. 

With this retractable shade system installed, this cafe is able to maximize revenue form their outdoor patio dining area and host fun events rain or shine.

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.
