Architectural shading · Berlin

Places people choose to stay.

We create public spaces where people feel welcome, comfortable and safe — permanent tensile shading, designed for each site and engineered to last decades, not seasons.

Four systems, one purpose.

Every site calls for a different structure. We design and engineer four families of permanent shading — each chosen for what the space needs, not what’s easiest to sell.

Court canopies

Full-coverage engineered spans that hold shade through play.

Large, beige, tensioned shade sails over a paved area with buildings and trees in the background.

Sports & schoolyards

Court canopies

Full-coverage engineered spans that hold shade through play.

Modern playground with shade sails and several children, set in a residential complex with multi-story buildings in the background.

Plazas & waterparks

Free-formed sails

Sculptural multi-sail compositions shaped to each site.

Several people are sitting and standing under large sun umbrellas in a paved square in front of multi-story buildings.

Streetscapes & terraces

Umbrellas

Light permanent structure — including water-collecting designs.

Wooden terrace with a picnic table; behind it, several triangular sun sails over a parapet against a clear sky.

Rooftops & courtyards

Roof shading

Tied into the building’s structure — engineered with the architect.

Built to remain

Permanent architecture, not seasonal equipment.

Most shading is stripped every winter and re-tensioned every spring, the space half-usable in between. We build once — engineered for year-round exposure and decades of use.

Permanent — no seasonal removal, ever.

Engineered as architecture: year-round exposure, wind and snow loads have been calculated, decades of service.

Every project begins with a site-specific shade analysis — sun read across the day and season, shade placed where it’s actually needed.

Materials we trust

Specified once. Built to last decades.

We specify a small set of proven materials and partners — because a permanent structure is only as good as what it’s made of.
