French-Style Wrought Iron Canopy (AD3)

In France this kind of glazed entrance canopy is called a marquise, and it has sheltered the doors of Parisian townhouses and country châteaux since the nineteenth century.

AD3 follows that tradition: a fan of forged ribs radiates from the wall, each one ending in a curl, and the whole canopy is glazed with glass.

Unlike most canopies, it slopes back towards the building rather than outwards. Rain runs towards the wall, where a gutter collects it and takes it down, either visibly or hidden in the facade.

Why French canopies are glazed

Glass keeps the full detail of the ironwork visible from below and lets daylight reach the door. It also makes the canopy look lighter than it is, which suits the elegant, palace-inspired pattern of AD3.
