Posner Residence

Miami Awning Co., Miami, Fla., United States

The project consisted of a 12' by 12' awning above a bar area for an exclusive penthouse residence overlooking the bay and ocean. The client wanted the awning to reflect originality and creativity, finish off her terrace and make the area memorable. It needed to be refined, customized and exclusive. The challenge was to meet the customer’s design requirements and taste.

The awning’s unique design includes flowing curves and accents. It was a challenge design-wise, in fabrication and installation, and was built to Florida Building Code standards. Because the penthouse is on the 26th floor, once the framework was constructed, it had to be disassembled and brought up through a service elevator. It then had to go through the home and up to the second floor without disturbing antiques, fine carpeting and furnishings.

According to the client, the awning is a topic of conversation at the many parties she arranges and has on her penthouse terrace.
