BR Cohn Winery, in the historic Sonoma Valley, has hosted concerts and large events on the property for years. A large outdoor structure positioned just above the sunken stage made an ideal anchor for shade sails. We used the existing massive I-beams on one side and added engineered bolt-on posts on the other. This allowed …
Canine Companions for Independence has been a customer since 2018. This marks the third permanent shade sail project we've designed, engineered, and installed for them. This installation was less complex than the previous two: the long, narrow patios on the south and west sides simply needed functional shade for their new, state-of-the-art breeding facility. At …
Cazimi, designed by artists Steef Crombach and Priscilla Lustig for the City of Austin, Texas and The Trail Conservancy, is a shade canopy conceived as both functional infrastructure and a site-specific work of art. The artists approached the 1,750 square foot structure as a three-dimensional composition in which color, pattern and light work together to …
This project was designed to provide shade and heat relief for employees and customers throughout the drive-thru ordering and pickup process. The installation features four custom tensioned shade sails supported by ten structural steel columns with masonry-wrapped CMU finishes. Because the drive-thru follows a curved path, the steel structure required numerous custom angles to match …
This project provided shade for the main patio space between buildings at Generation Church's Mesa campus, creating a comfortable outdoor gathering area for staff and congregants. A key design challenge was column placement: the team had to carefully map every door exit and window along both building facades to ensure none of the twelve structural …
Nova Southeastern University’s Oceanographic Center required a specialized shade solution for areas housing live coral and sea turtles. Custom HDPE shade structures totaling 3,530 sq. ft. were designed, engineered, fabricated, and installed using 220 yards of HDPE Architect 400 Porcelain 865150 fabric. Because the structures were installed around active ocean life, fabric selection was critical …
This project was awarded through a competitive public bid process, with the design required to meet a specified minimum square footage of shade coverage over the playground area.

This project provided shade for the homeowners' south-facing back patio, giving both the family and their dogs a comfortable outdoor space to enjoy despite the intense southern sun exposure. The design consists of two overlapping custom shade sails supported by a combination of three structural steel columns and four custom wall brackets. Site access was …
Roederer Estate Winery was a rewarding challenge. The owners initially had their in-house staff attempt the design, and after several abandoned ideas, they brought the project to us. Together we worked through multiple iterations before arriving at a design that satisfied both their vision and our standards. The owners were hesitant to shade the entire …
The client approached us seeking a solution for a difficult and exposed outdoor spa area within a semi-detached hillside property. Due to the unique layout of the home and the elevated neighbouring dwelling positioned directly beside and above the site, the spa space lacked privacy and was heavily overlooked from the neighbouring lounge area. The …
