About this asset

Clean-lined modern grey steel window awning Revit family featuring a slim horizontal canopy plate supported by dual tension tie rods. Engineered as a lightweight facade feature, the assembly comprises a flat steel canopy plate supported by two structural side ribs underneath. Two slender diagonal tie rods anchor the outer edge of the cantilever back to individual rectangular wall plates mounted above the opening. Rendered in a uniform neutral grey powder-coated finish, the fixture presents a crisp, planar profile that projects horizontally from the building envelope. Hardware details include visible fastener plates along the wall interface and circular pin connections at the rod endpoints, maintaining an understated industrial aesthetic.

The download is a 338 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

As a native Revit family, this component inserts against exterior wall faces above doors, glazed storefronts, or window openings. Users can align the base mounting brackets to header elevations in section or 3D views. Surface finishes can be adjusted through Revit material parameter slots to coordinate with adjacent window mullions, rainscreen cladding systems, or metal coping panels across facade elevations.

Ideal for contemporary residential facades, multifamily developments, boutique retail storefronts, and commercial office entrances, this exterior sunshade provides effective solar shading and weather protection. Architects frequently specify tie-rod steel awnings above entry doors, operable casements, and ribbon glazing. The minimalist architectural canopy integrates smoothly with rendered masonry, curtain wall systems, concrete panels, and timber composite sidings across schematic elevations and technical detailing packages.
