An awning doesn't help at all in some cases when the sun is very low. I would rather prefer a canopy; most of them also have side elements that can be lowered. Or simply a good old sun umbrella
For the canopy, there are many options to design the roof - glass, retractable, slats, etc.

Hahaha what do people do nowadays?

You didn’t bring up the statics. That was me. We told the general contractor that we want an awning. The general contractor then said that an awning isn’t just a simple thing. You have to ask the structural engineer whether and how big it can be.

A canopy requires a building permit, right? Awnings come with a valance to provide better sun protection.

I don't think so.

Oh, I see, then forget the passages about WDVS from my recent answers. Your plans say "36.5", that looks like monolithic. They have umbrellas again with bendable "stems", but more stable than in my childhood.

The 36.5 cm wall itself doesn't really care whether an awning is attached or not. What’s important is that sufficient (adhesive) anchors are planned. But that should then be calculated by the awning manufacturer. Because they know the dead load of the awning and how large the other occurring forces are.

The calculation could also be done by an external structural engineer, but they would need the exact specifications or the manufacturer's datasheet.

As @ already hinted with the isokorb connectors, the fastening at the level of the concrete ceiling is even more advantageous. There is a larger selection of anchors for that. Possibly, you can even have built-in parts in the ceiling prepared for the awning. However, the size, dimensions, and exact model must already be fixed beforehand and cannot be changed much afterward.

I have a question, in your floor plans I see that you have 36.5 cm exterior walls, can you write me your wall structure? Are you actually building to KfW standard now?
