Shade Architecture

Outdoor design, like indoor, goes beyond furniture.  It takes into consideration: decking, structural architecture, gardens, swimming pools and a myrid of other features.

To create a truly unique space, the sky really is the limit.  For the following items, you will require a landscape architect or design professional.




Parasoleil was founded in Colorado at the hand of artist Uriah Bueller. Parasoleil is a architectural metals company that makes creative sunshades. With each sunshade, Uriah Bueller remains true to his artistic roots.

Parsoleil comes in five standard designs.  Each design is iconic in nature and will stand up against the test of time.

Do you have a design in mind?

If not, this is usually not a problem.

Parsoleil will work with your architect or designer to bring your vision to reality.  Custom panels are 40% of the business, producing custom sizes and designs in thick steel railings, green-certified, composite materials for interior projects and aluminum to be anodized or powder coated.

The copper panels will patina with time.  Depending on the climate in your area, dry climates will see a deep bronze colour while moist climates will watch their shade architecture turn various shades of green. If you don't want to wait for the copper to patina naturally, Parsoleil will accelerate the process at the factory level.
Look at these amazing samples of shadows being cast!  With properly placed up-lighting, at night it would be a spectacular conversation starter.

I love the custom elements below - especially the door!  It strikes me as a salvaged door that has been given new life by adding Parsoleil's unique touches.  The free standing pergola casts a beautiful shadow as well.

With a great designer or landscape architect, not only will you be shading yourself but you will be purchasing the most beautiful shade imaginable.
