Engineered to adapt to Liguria's maritime environments and indoor commercial centers, combining botanical realism with architectural durability.
Genoa, the historic maritime capital of Liguria, represents a unique canvas for landscape architects. Confined between the Apennine Mountains and the Ligurian Sea, the city features a high-density vertical layout, steep slopes, and historic stone fabrics (Genoese *caruggi*). In these structural environments, introducing living, high-maintenance foliage is often hindered by weight limitations, micro-climate restrictions, historical preservation laws, and aggressive sea winds heavily laden with sodium chloride.
As a result, leading architectural design firms in Genoa are increasingly turning to engineered artificial plants and structural public art trees to achieve modern biophilic designs. Whether integrating large-scale simulated palm trees at the Stazione Marittima cruise terminal, or installing custom flame-retardant maple installations within retail spaces along Via XX Settembre, modern artificial botanicals provide the aesthetic impact of nature without the associated structural weight, water supply constraints, or maintenance costs.
Developing large-scale art installations for coastal environments requires a rigorous engineering approach. Unlike typical interior decor, outdoor public art trees must withstand unique atmospheric demands:
1. Wind Resistance: Our outdoor products are calculated in accordance with Eurocode 1 (Actions on Structures - Wind Actions). The internal structural skeleton uses hot-dip galvanized steel tubes (Q235/Q345 grade), engineered to resist structural shear forces from local winds (such as the Tramontana and Scirocco) up to speeds of 120 km/h.
2. Salt Mist Corrosion Control: To counter the humid, saline air of the Mediterranean coast, all structural metal elements undergo multi-stage corrosion protection, including hot-dip galvanization, zinc-rich epoxy primers, and polyurethane marine-grade coatings.
3. UV Deflection: Extended exposure to Mediterranean sunlight can degrade synthetic polymers. Our materials integrate chemical UV absorbers and hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) within the raw polymer matrices, preventing fading, cracking, and loss of tensile strength.
Dedicated architectural designs supporting commercial hospitality, residential complexes, and luxury cat hotels in the Genoa region.
The global artificial landscape market is transitioning from simple decorative items to highly engineered, structural biophilic installations. Driven by sustainable building certifications such as LEED and BREEAM, corporate real estate developers recognize that integrating green elements increases occupant well-being and visual appeal. However, maintaining live mature trees inside multi-story complexes presents challenges, including structural slab loading, irrigation system leaks, and inadequate natural light.
Our structural art trees address these challenges by replacing soil and living biological systems with high-strength, lightweight fiberglass structures. Modern replication techniques utilize high-definition tooling to create tree trunks with lifelike textures, hand-painted with acrylic polyurethanes to replicate real bark. This approach provides the visual benefits of natural trees while reducing structural loads on buildings.
Operating in Italy requires strict adherence to European fire safety and construction standards. For public and commercial buildings, decorations must comply with EN 13501-1 (Class B-s1, d0), which limits flame spread and smoke production.
Unlike manufacturers who apply temporary fire-retardant sprays that can wash off, we integrate fire-resistant additives directly into the raw polymer during leaf extrusion and trunk fabrication. This ensures the fire-retardant properties remain effective over the product's lifespan. Additionally, for large-scale outdoor projects in Genoa, we provide complete structural calculations to support local building approvals (Genio Civile).

The integration of artificial botanical elements is evolving beyond passive visual design. Our product development roadmap focuses on incorporating smart technologies and sustainable materials to meet modern building requirements:
Our structural art trees are engineered for diverse urban applications across Genoa, including historic redevelopments and modern business districts:
1. Porto Antico & Cotton Docks (Magazzini del Cotone): High-traffic, humid environments require wind-resistant and UV-stable installations, such as simulated palms and olives, to complement waterfront restaurants and exhibition halls.
2. Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA) Terminal: High-traffic passenger transit hubs require EN 13501-1 compliant, low-maintenance indoor landscaping to enhance passenger waiting areas.
3. San Benigno Corporate District: Multi-story office lobbies benefit from vertical green walls and tall fiberglass maple trees, providing biophilic design elements without requiring structural reinforcement for soil weight.
Detailed technical, compliance, and logistics information for landscape architects, contractors, and project planners in Genoa.
Our engineering team performs finite element analysis (FEA) based on the specific wind conditions of Liguria, adhering to Eurocode 1 (UNI EN 1991-1-4). We calculate the structural wind-force shear resistance for the tree's height and surface area. All outdoor public art trees feature an internal steel column (Q235 or Q345 structural steel) welded to a base plate, designed to be anchored to a reinforced concrete foundation with mechanical anchor bolts.
Our products are fabricated to meet European fire safety standard EN 13501-1, achieving a Class B-s1, d0 rating. This indicates the material has very limited combustibility, low smoke emissions, and produces no flaming droplets. Certification documents and test reports from accredited laboratories (such as SGS or TÜV) are provided with every commercial order for presentation to Italian fire safety inspectors (Vigili del Fuoco).
Yes. For coastal locations like the Port of Genoa (Porto Antico), we apply a marine-grade corrosion protection system. All internal steel components are hot-dip galvanized to ISO 1461 standards, creating a durable zinc coating. Threaded connectors are made from stainless steel (AISI 316), and the outer fiberglass cladding is sealed with salt-resistant epoxy resins to protect against marine atmospheric corrosion.
Custom engineering and fabrication typically require 30 to 45 days, depending on project scale and complexity. Standard ocean freight shipping from our Shenzhen facility to the Port of Genoa (PSA Genova Pra' or SECH terminal) takes approximately 30 to 35 days. We provide complete customs clearance documentation (Certificate of Origin, Bill of Lading, Packing Lists, and CE/EN test certifications) to support smooth import procedures.
Our large-scale installations are designed with a modular structure. Individual branches are engineered to slot into matching sockets on the main trunk, secured with internal steel pins or bolts. Each connection point is numbered to match the provided installation drawings. For large municipal or commercial installations, we provide step-by-step documentation, video guides, and remote technical support. On-site engineering supervision is also available upon request.
