Barcelona pilot initiative

Reconnecting with nature while cooling down your building

Transforming the city a rooftop at a time:
Thermal realities

Mitigating Mediterranean urban heat

Solar absorption

Asphalt heat accumulation

Unshaded bituminous roofing absorbs intense solar radiation throughout daylight hours, reradiating thermal mass downward into residential attics and compounding street canyon temperatures across Barcelona.

Living barrier

Passive vegetative insulation

Locally fired clay modules layered with wild rockrose and sedum insulate top-floor dwellings naturally, shielding masonry structures without mechanical cooling electricity.

Ecological mandate

Skyline asphalt is unplanted canopy waiting to shelter our neighborhoods.

Urban resilience begins on flat roofs. By returning living soil, endemic flora, and passive thermal mass to collective residential buildings, we restore temperate microclimates above the street grid.
