  View photos of Juvia Restaurant retractable awning project

Juvia, a high-end restaurant located high above busy Lincoln Road on Miami Beach, is the first place where Uni-Systems installed the En-Fold® retractable fabric awning. Spanning 54’ of Juvia’s outdoor terrace, The awning assures that patrons will enjoy consistent comfort and stunning views of Miami Beach—even in the case of inclement weather.

Featuring SEFAR’s Tenara® architectural fabric, En-Fold® deploys to transform Juvia’s outdoor terrace into an intimate space at the push of a button. The awning can withstand 50 mile per hour winds when fully tensioned, and features a slight incline to shed rain away from the terrace and to prevent any rainwater from pooling on the fabric panels. When The awning is open, the fabric panels are retracted fully out of view from the patrons below.

En-Fold® provides Juvia with the flexibility of an outdoor space with the ability to protect against the elements when the need arises. Juvia’s guests can enjoy the food, atmosphere, and the view without concerns about Miami’s weather .
