About this project
Brown fabric gives this large Willbrook canopy a warm colour, set against a darker anthracite frame. At seven metres wide, the fabric choice has a strong presence in the installation.
The canopy extends 3.5m from the building. Its long front edge and broad fabric area make it a useful example when considering an awning for a wider stretch of outdoor space.
Thinking about a large canopy as part of the building
A seven-metre awning remains noticeable even when retracted. The closed enclosure forms a long line against the wall, while opening the fabric introduces a much larger area of colour above the outdoor space.
For a similar wide installation, view the proposed position from indoors and from further into the garden. The brown fabric and anthracite construction shown here can help illustrate the scale, but the final colour choice should be made with the particular property in mind.
Solution and installation
Integrated LEDs add lighting to the structure. The unit is motorised and includes a wind sensor. The photos show how the brown canopy and anthracite construction work together at this scale.
Key benefits and project details
- 700cm-wide full cassette
- R775 fabric with anthracite RAL 7016 construction
- LED lighting and a 350cm projection
Location and surrounding areas
This project was completed in Willbrook, Dublin.
For a wide awning around Willbrook, Rathfarnham or Ballyboden, include a view of the full frontage from further back. It helps show how a long closed cassette and a broad open canopy would sit on the building.
