About this project
An awning outside a café becomes part of how the premises look from the street. At Coffee Press in Waterford, black fabric and an anthracite frame are combined with adjustable lighting.
The canopy measures 5m wide and extends 3.5m. LEDs and a dimmer allow the brightness to be adjusted, giving more choice over the lighting around the awning as daylight changes.
Considering the café from inside and outside
A café awning is viewed by people approaching the premises as well as by those sitting nearby. Its colour and proportions become part of the frontage, while the space beneath it has a more immediate, everyday role.
The dimmable lighting at Coffee Press gives control over one part of that setting as daylight changes. For another café, consider the furniture layout and the routes used by customers and staff alongside the canopy dimensions. Those details help connect the appearance outside with practical use.
Solution and installation
Specially made brackets are included in the fitting arrangement. The awning is motorised and has a wind sensor. The result brings the mounting detail, dark fabric and lighting together in a single feature outside the café.
