Architectural Awnings

For centuries, awnings have been utilised to provide shelter and shade on both commercial and residential buildings. However, today more than ever, architects and designers recognise the high aesthetic value of a carefully designed awning installation.  Awnings are used to enhance the traditional style of historical buildings, to soften the appearance of harsh facades and to create a welcoming atmosphere for restaurants, hotels, and shops; as well as providing provision for signage.

Today, architects are incorporating the specification of awnings into the design of new commercial developments as they recognise the benefits.  This enables awnings to be concealed within specially made recesses when not in use.

Here we have shown some examples of how awnings can enhance architecture.
