About this project
The front edge is the lighting feature on this Dún Laoghaire awning. Dimmable LEDs are combined with a grey canopy and anthracite construction for a coordinated finish.
The unit measures 5.6m across and projects 3.5m. Grey U104 fabric sits within the dark frame, keeping the colour choices understated across a broad canopy.
Choosing light for the way you use the space
A front light brings attention to the leading edge of an awning. With a dimmer, that light can be adjusted as the outdoor setting becomes darker or the activity beneath the canopy changes.
For a similar Dún Laoghaire installation, think about the normal seating positions and the view back towards the building. The fabric colour, frame finish and light position contribute in different ways, so it helps to discuss them as a complete arrangement.
Solution and installation
The dimming device allows the front lighting to be adjusted to suit how the space is being used. The awning is motorised and includes a wind sensor. When the canopy is retracted, the cassette becomes the main visible part of the installation.
