Top Upscale Restaurant Patio Designs
Spruzzo Rooftop Bar at The Ben West Palm
How do you create an iconic tropical patio covering that blends the timeless feel of a tree canopy with a modern edge while facing the elements fearlessly? The Spruzzo Rooftop Bar offers open-air dining eight floors above the ground atop The Ben West Palm. As the bar’s focal point, the canopy needed to be eye-catching. Excellent craftsmanship and high-quality and weather-resistant materials were required components. Since the restaurant is located in Miami-Dade County, there was an added specification to meet all the necessary wind and fire codes. To make it work, our artisans wove a rich netting of fire-retardant high-density polyethylene cord. Then, they wove it across an aluminum frame that measured 23 feet wide and 6 feet tall. The result is a unique, natural-looking and long-lasting canopy.

1 Hotel South Beach
Authentic materials and textures are a must for the natural ambiance that the 1 Hotel South Beach offers its guests. When the designers shared their outdoor restaurant patio ideas with amaZulu Inc. and requested input regarding the cover, we got to work. Eye-catching wasn’t enough. The end product also had to be crafted from a durable, enduring natural material that would meet wind and fire codes. To maximize texture, visual appeal and strength while minimizing weight and wind uplift, we worked with engineers and architects. Our custom willow reed panels were handmade to fit the pre-engineered metal frame and treated with a fire retardant. The finished cover provides a striking look and welcome shade.

Ritz Carlton Amelia Island
The use of stone, light hues and imposing pillars might make the restaurant patio at the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island seem chilly or formal. Wrapping the edges of the ceiling in eucalyptus trellis brings natural warmth to the outdoor space, inviting diners to linger and relax. Sturdy and attractive, eucalyptus is a cost-effective, construction-ready theming material. Rich in visual interest, it offers countless possibilities.
