About this project
This Kilcock project uses a long canopy without extending too far from the wall. The awning is just over five metres wide, with a shallower 2.5m projection.
That shape can be useful where shade is needed along an outdoor area but there is less reason for the canopy to reach far outwards. It also shows why the width and projection should be chosen together, with the layout of the space in mind.
Leaving more of the outdoor space open
A shallower projection can be a deliberate choice rather than a compromise. The aim may be shade closer to the building while leaving more of the area beyond the canopy open to the sky.
This Kilcock installation combines that shorter reach with a long span along the wall. For another property, identify which part of the space needs shade most often before choosing a deeper canopy simply because it is available.
Solution and installation
Black fabric is paired with an anthracite frame for a dark, simple finish. The awning has motorised operation and a wind sensor. Its semi cassette arrangement and proportions are the main details of this installation.
