Trees are essential, but in many urban situations they are slow, limited, or impossible to implement. Underground infrastructure, sealed surfaces, limited soil volume, and technical constraints often prevent trees from growing to a size where they provide meaningful shade or cooling.
LIANAS TRELLIS does not replace trees.
It works where trees cannot, using climbing plants to create dense green volumes within a few years.
No.
It is an architectural structure that enables climbing plants to behave like a tree in terms of volume, shade, and presence.
The difference is time and flexibility.
Climbing plants grow faster and adapt more easily to constrained urban conditions.
Climbing plants are efficient by nature.
They invest energy in growth, not in self-supporting trunks. This allows them to reach height and density quickly.
They are particularly suited for urban environments where space is limited but vertical volume is available.
Immediately after installation, the structure is visible as an architectural object.
Within two to three years, climbing plants typically form a dense green volume, depending on species and local conditions.
Yes.
The structural system is independent of plant selection.
Local climbing plants can be chosen according to climate, maintenance requirements and ecological goals.
In principle, all climbing and twining plants are suitable.
If specific species require additional support, additional ropes can be integrated into the structure.
Plant selection depends on climate, exposure, growth speed, and desired seasonal effect.
Yes.
Climbing plants provide habitat, shelter, and food for insects, birds, and pollinators, especially in dense urban areas where natural structures are scarce.
Dense greenery provides shade, reduces surface temperatures, and increases evaporative cooling. This helps mitigate heat stress and improves outdoor comfort, particularly in summer.
LIANAS TRELLIS is designed to evolve.
The structure is dominant at the beginning. Over time, plants take over, transforming the object into a living, seasonal element.
In winter, the structure becomes more visible again.
In spring and summer, it disappears behind vegetation.
Both.
LIANAS TRELLIS sits between architecture, landscape, and urban design.
It is a spatial structure completed by nature.
