See How Corolle Transforms This Urban Landscape
A rapid and extensive urban re-greening solution that solves the Urban Heat Island Effect and creates natural plant shade.
Its airy structure ensures optimized air circulation and creates natural plant shade. It blocks and reflects the sun’s rays.
A haven for urban wildlife. The Corolle is an ecosystem that protects biodiversity.
Corolle is modular, requiring no coupling, and it does not impact underground networks or existing urban infrastructures.
Redefining urban cool – Imagine the possibilities
In 2016, Urban Canopee embarked on a groundbreaking journey rooted in the prestigious École des Ponts ParisTech and nurtured by over a decade of research within the Navier laboratory. The mission was bold yet essential: to mitigate the escalating effects of climate change by weaving the cooling embrace of nature into the urban fabric. Urban Canopee introduced the revolutionary TRIGLASS composite material through an innovative collaboration with Top Glass Industries, making the canopies resilient, exceptionally lightweight, and durable. Urban Canopee is a pioneer in ecological innovation, effectively turning the tide against urban heat islands, one canopy at a time.
Studies by Urban Canopee indicate a potential temperature reduction of up to 6°C (10.8°F) depending on factors like plant selection and local climate. Download our information package for more details.
Corolle is designed for minimal maintenance. Just like any outdoor structure, Corolle may require occasional cleaning.
The Corolle structure utilizes a resilient composite structure, non-corrosive plastic connection nodes, and stainless steel cables for a long-lasting and rust-resistant design.
Like all Maglin products, the Corolle planter bases are specially coated to resist rust.
The frequency of plant watering, maintenance and replacement depends on your site’s conditions and the specific plant species you choose for your Corolle.
LED lighting systems can be integrated into Corolle's structure to enhance nighttime use and aesthetics. However, an external power source will be required.
Corolle utilizes climbing plants that can grow and mature much more quickly than traditional trees. This allows Corolle to create extensive greening and shade cover in a shorter timeframe, providing a more immediate cooling effect in urban areas.
Unlike trees that require specific growing conditions in the ground, Corolle can be installed in areas with existing hardscapes or infrastructure that would prevent traditional tree planting. For example, Corolle could be a great option for pedestrianized streets, where they can be moved or relocated according to need.
