Climate Adaptation thru Design
From new development to retrofitting energy inefficient buildings, Green Shadow provides patented new technology to tackle our warming climate. In response to a broad gap in the market, Green Shadow draws on interdisciplinary experience in academia, architecture and municipal planning to put future-ready solutions into the market.
Green Shadow is dedicated to successful climate adaptation by leaning into the unconventional + exploring innovative strategies to harness nature. We not only provide climate forward solutions, we also walk the talk using only low or carbon-free methods in our design, manufacturing + installation.
With patents pending and products in development, more information will be shared in due course. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions in the meantime.
Behind the Scenes
Carolyn Fahey
MURP, AICP, PhD
Founder + Design Lead
Since 2008, Carolyn has been obsessed with Patrick Blanc's work, particularly his green wall on Herzog & de Meuron's Caixa Forum in Madrid. Since discovering Patrick Blanc, she has extensively researched green wall systems including the ecosystem benefits, approaches to wall system design, and policy applications for local jurisdictions. After a successful career teaching and practicing architecture in the UK and US, and reviewing development proposals for the City of San Francisco and City of Boulder, Carolyn made her green wall obsession a reality with the 2022 launch of Green Shadow.
