Shadow Cast Shade Structure
A Shadow Cast Shade Structure combines functional shade with custom laser-cut designs to create one-of-a-kind spaces for parks, trails, pathways, plazas, schools, and communities. As sunlight passes through the laser-cut steel panels, the design casts unique shadows onto the ground below, transforming an ordinary shade structure into a piece of functional public art.
What Are Shadow Cast Shade Structures?
These structures are custom steel pavilion featuring decorative laser-cut panels in the roof. The openings allow sunlight to shine through the artwork, projecting the design onto the pathway or ground underneath.
As the position of the sun changes throughout the day, the shadows move and change with it. This creates an interactive design element that visitors can experience while walking, sitting, or gathering beneath the structure.
Fully Customizable Laser Cut Designs
Our team can work with your artwork or help turn your idea into a design that can be incorporated into the structure. Custom laser-cut designs can include:
- Native plants, trees, and flowers
- Mountains and landscapes
- City and community logos
- School mascots
- Historical imagery
- Local landmarks
- Names and lettering
- Custom artwork and illustrations
Shade Structures for Parks, Trails & Public Spaces
All Shadow cast shade structures can be designed for a wide variety of outdoor spaces. Their smaller footprint makes them especially useful along pedestrian areas where a traditional pavilion may not be the right fit.
They are a great option for city parks, walking trails, bike paths, riverwalks, greenways, playgrounds, downtown areas, schools, college campuses, museums, community spaces, and recreational facilities.
