VEGETATED CANOPY TREE
Creating a canopy where trees cannot grow.
A nature-based solution designed to provide shade and cooling in constrained urban spaces where planting a tree directly in the ground is difficult or impossible.
A LIVING CANOPY
The Canopy Tree combines an elevated structure with a vertical greening system. Climbing plants gradually grow across the canopy, creating a living green cover adapted to its surroundings.
By combining structure and vegetation, the system gradually creates a new space for shade and cooling.
SOIL
A volume of living soil provides the conditions plants need to grow and thrive.
WATER
An integrated irrigation system provides water according to the plants’ needs.
CANOPY
An elevated structure creates shade while providing support for climbing plants to grow.
PLANTS
Plant species selected according to the local climate and site conditions gradually create a living green canopy.
BENEFITS OF THE CANOPY TREE
SHADE & COOLING
Create a shaded area and help cool highly mineralised urban spaces.
GREENING WITHOUT IN-GROUND PLANTING
Introduce vegetation in places where planting trees directly in the ground is difficult or impossible.
BIODIVERSITY
Create new vegetated surfaces and encourage biodiversity in the heart of urban areas.
ADAPTED TO THE SITE
Select climbing plants suited to the local climate and the specific conditions of each project.
NATURE RISES ABOVE THE CITY
The Canopy Tree uses vertical space to bring vegetation back into the city, gradually creating a living canopy above the urban environment.
WHAT IF THE CITY COULD RECLAIM ITS CANOPY?
Green Sentinel works with you to develop a solution tailored to the site, its constraints and your greening objectives.
