An Even Split
Modern style townhomes are more popular than ever in the Seattle area and sometimes these space-efficient properties come with unique challenges. These neighbors opted to share a modern metal tie rod entrance awning that looks great and suits both their needs.
Building a Booth
Don’t put us in a box! While we specialize in awnings, our skilled team can help to design many unique structures like this Corona booth that was installed at theUW stadium. We created a freestanding aluminum structure, powder coated it white and installed a vinyl cover with applied graphics.

This particular model is a Pergolino by Stobag. With customizable frame color, fabric, and available add-ons we can make it the perfect fit for your space.

The owner of Hong Kong Bistro was looking to update their awning without straying too far from their roots. We worked with them to design a new cover that incorporated new graphics, powder coated the frame, and slightly raised the awning for a more modern, but still classic look.
