Markilux 8000 Canopy Array Shades Restaurant at Hotel Bel-Air

The Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles wanted to create an elegant and unique year-around outdoor dining experience for the Wolfgang Puck restaurant. The space called for the feel of a Spanish courtyard, with private alcoves overlooking Swan Lake. The need was for a stylish architectural shade solution to create the desired atmosphere while complementing the high-end dining experience.

Markilux worked with Architects from the Rockwell Group (NY), Designers HLW International, LLP (Santa Monica, CA) and Morley Builders (Santa Monica, CA) to design and install a stunning canopy array over a custom structure designed by the architectural team.

There are four large coupled Markilux 8800 canopies installed in a unique back-to-back arrangement to provide shade over the expansive restaurant outdoor seating area. The project is enhanced by the sleek cassettes of the Markilux 8800 that are colored to match the support structure. A special fire-resistant fabric was supplied. The fabric fully retracts into the cassettes when not needed for shading to ensure many years of elegant performance.
