APPROACH

Transform your rooftops into shared green spaces that improve comfort, reduce overheating, foster biodiversity, and capture rainwater. This non-invasive renovation system, developed in partnership with the City of Paris, is designed to be adapted to all architectural contexts and roof geometries. A 3D drone survey enables the prefabrication of key components and allows for rapid installation from the roof itself, without needing access through the interior of buildings.

OUR PROJECTS

Since the launch of this initiative, we have had the opportunity to work on climate adaptation for a wide range of architectural contexts, serving clients as diverse as condominium associations, real estate companies, local governments, and social housing providers.

ADAPTING THE CITY

Beyond the issue of roof transformation, Roofscapes is working to develop solutions for the climate adaptation of buildings as a whole. Thus, following its work on the “climate realignment” of cities, the team is developing other scalable, non-destructive, and reversible interventions for the retrofitting of envelopes. This work is carried both internally and as part of larger European research projects and partnerships.

RESEARCH

Beyond rooftop transformation, Roofscapes is committed to exploring how urban centers can adapt to contemporary challenges. This work takes the form of lectures, exhibitions, publications, academic collaborations, research programs, and university teaching modules. These activities allow us to develop and share Roofscapes’ vision of climate adaptation for existing buildings with those who use and shape the city. By broadening perspectives, we aim to make climate adaptation projects more tangible and accessible, working daily with private and public owners to transform the city, building by building, toward a more resilient future.
