RetractableAwnings.com Inc.PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS
The architect specified two butting/side by side 173.93 inch wide x 240.0 inch projection retractable canopy systems to be inserted in to a new steel frame structure. Each of the areas to be covered used one continuous piece of fabric and one motor. The system frame and guides specified are made entirely of aluminum which is powder coated using the Qualicoat® powder coating process. Custom color chosen for the guides by the Architect was RAL 9006 known as White Aluminum. The stainless steel components used were Inox (470LI and 316) which are of the highest quality and have an extremely high corrosion resistance. In fact, the components passed the European salt spray corrosion test as tested by Centro Sviluppo Materiali in Italy.
Fabric is Ferrari 86 Color 2044 White, a fabric that is self-extinguishing (fire retardant). These retracting canopy systems has a Beaufort wind load rating Scale 10 (up to 63 mph) with the fabric fully extended and in use.
A grey hood with end caps was requested for each end to prevent rain water (location is Alexandria, Virginia) from collecting in the folds of fabric when not in use.
A running profile which runs from end to end in the rear of each section was necessary to attach the Somfy RTS motor which is installed inside a motor safety box. The client chose to control the system with two remote controls, two white wall switches and two Somfy wind sensors.
PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
Our original contact was from the architect who requested two retractable systems that would attach to a new steel structure and that would meet local wind load requirements since the units are installed on the top of the building known as Metro Park VI. The architect wanted a contemporary, modern and very clean appearance and a product that would also meet International Building Code Requirements.
The purpose of the project was to provide an area for shade, heat, sun, glare and UV protection but not rain protection thus the use of Soltis 86 sheer mesh fabric. The client stated to the Architect that the area was to be used for entertainment purposes in good weather conditions.
UNIQUENESS AND COMPLEXITY OF THE PROJECT
This project was a challenge since the steel structure was being built at the same time (simultaneously) as the retractable patio cover systems were being manufactured to meet a deadline therefore there was no room for error. In addition, removing all the extrusions, fabric etc. from the crate and hoisting them to the top of the building was indeed difficult but accomplished.
PROJECT RESULTS
The client is elated with the results of both retractable canopy cover systems. Along with landscaping, the exterior top floor of the Metro Park VI building was transformed and is truly a stunning example of design, function and aesthetics as can be seen in the pictures.
Goal accomplished – All customer requirements were met including a contemporary, modern, stylish and very clean appearance along with providing shade, sun, UV, glare and heat reduction.

Christine Wilkie Garden DesignThe owners of this long, narrow garden wanted to transform it into a sociable space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation with a boho chic style with lots of textural contrast. An existing run of steep steps and brick retaining walls was to be completely removed in favour of safer, statement steps and textured retaining walls. A new patio in large format porcelain tiles was designed to deliver an inside-out feel complementing the house's interior flooring. An old shed to the rear was removed and replaced with a large, modern garden room that does double duty as both a yoga studio and party/play room. To take advantage of the afternoon sun, a second small patio was created halfway down the garden. An eclectic mix of memorabilia and decorative accessories add a personal touch and provide pops of colour and visual interest throughout the garden.
The new main patio was designed to provide plenty of room for al fresco dining as well as a lounge space with a modern outdoor sofa dressed with comfy cushions and storm candle accessories. The relaxing sound of water is provided in the shape of a spherical rainbow sandstone water feature while a large egg chair, surrounded by an eclectic mix of planters, provides views across the whole garden. New terraced retaining walls are finished in a splitface slate cladding for textural interest while an L-shaped run of wide steps lead you down to the lawn area where a stepping stone path leads on to the next area of the garden.
A contemplation area, complete with lanterns and planters, is created at the halfway point with space for a pre-loved bench of sentimental value on which to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun. The whole area is zoned with the addition of a bespoke western red cedar pergola giving a sense of enclosure and linking this area back to the cedar batten boundary treatment at the upper patio level. To the rear of the garden sits a new, modern garden room, complete with its own disco balls and a patio just large enough for a bistro table and chair set. The area is completed with timber sleeper raised beds and a set of steps leading up to the main lawn level. A combination of low-maintenance planting and retained mature shrubs, complete the garden scheme while garden lighting extends the garden's use well into the evening.
My House Design/Build/TeamThis 40 year old Crescent Beach house, formerly a summer home, received a complete makeover & addition, to restore and enhance its distinctive ‘west coast’ architectural style. A ‘Lindal’ western red cedar window wall on the front and the back of the house add to the unique ‘West Coast’ character of the home. A glulam beam and glass roof canopy extends over the South and West corners of the house creating a covered entry and a sheltered area for outdoor living. The biggest change to the home’s formerly cramped interior was the relocation of the staircase. This change allowed for the creation of a spacious new open plan kitchen with a dynamically shaped island, perfect for entertaining.
