Commercial Shade Structures In Orange County: For TVT Day School in Irvine, aesthetics were our top priority. We set out to design a commercial shade structure to compliment their stunning campus.

The Challenge

TVT had strong design preferences and a tight deadline. Their lower courtyard was a key aspect of the project, as they host many galas and events in this space. The challenge was designing a commercial sun shade that would complement the existing design architecture in the courtyard, as well as provide shade to a large portion of the courtyard for their daytime events.

Our Solution

It was important that we kept the posts outside the middle of the space and as unobtrusive as possible. Additionally, the existing grass needed to be replaced with artificial turf in all courtyard areas. A key contributing challenge was completing the major construction elements over the course of 2 weeks, while the students were on spring break.

Modern and Functional Sail Shades

To keep the posts from interfering with the courtyard aesthetics, we used a center plate that connected all of the sails together. This prevented the need for a center post, and set the foundation for a successful Commercial Sun Shade!

Quality Artificial Turf 

We also specified a top quality Artificial Turf that included an antimicrobial technology, to keep the space safe amid the growing pandemic safety concerns.

Streamlined Installation

As for the spring break timeline, we made it happen thanks to our turn-key Sail Shade Installation process. We dug footers and set all the posts for both courtyards, just in time for the students' return from spring break.
