Morritts Hotel & Resort

by

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!

Tap 42

by

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.
