Cooler Cities
Start Here
Fresh Point brings shade, cooling and comfort to public spaces — creating welcoming places to pause, recover and escape the heat.
Cooling Infrastructure for Healthier Cities
Fresh Point transforms hot public spaces into comfortable places to pause, sit and cool down. By combining shade, targeted cooling and thoughtful urban design in a compact modular structure, Fresh Point provides immediate relief from extreme heat while integrating naturally into streets, plazas, parks, transport hubs and event spaces.
A Complete Cooling Point
Fresh Point brings multiple heat-relief strategies together in a single piece of urban infrastructure. The central structure integrates cooling, shade, seating and the technical systems required to operate them — creating a comfortable microclimate without enclosing people inside a conditioned space.
Designed as a modular system, each Fresh Point can be adapted to its location, climate and expected use.

Integrated Technology
Made for the City
Fresh Point is designed to bring cooling exactly where people need it — without requiring permanent construction or major changes to the surrounding public space.
Its modular, self-contained design allows it to be installed in a wide variety of urban environments, from a paved city square to a park, waterfront, transport hub or temporary event.

Cooling Where It Matters
Cooling an entire outdoor space is neither practical nor efficient. Fresh Point takes a different approach: create a small, comfortable micro-climate precisely where people stop and experience the heat.
Cooling, shade and airflow work together around the occupied area, while integrated controls allow the system to respond to actual conditions and use.
Targeted Comfort
Responsive Operation
Resource Conscious
Measurable Impact
Designed for a Lighter Footprint
Urban cooling shouldn’t add unnecessarily to the problem it is trying to solve. Fresh Point is designed around a low-impact approach that combines passive shade, efficient targeted cooling and on-site renewable energy.
The photovoltaic canopy turns the surface that provides shade into an energy-generating asset, helping supply Fresh Point’s systems while reducing its dependence on external infrastructure.

Built for Tomorrow
More Than a Place to Cool Down
Fresh Point brings shade, targeted cooling, renewable energy and smart technology together in a single piece of urban infrastructure.
Rather than trying to cool the surrounding environment, Fresh Point focuses resources where they make a difference: around the people using it. Its canopy provides immediate protection from direct sunlight, while targeted cooling creates a more comfortable microclimate around the seating area.
The structure itself is designed for the realities of public space. A modular platform allows Fresh Point to be deployed across different urban environments with minimal intervention, while seating, cooling equipment, water systems, power and controls are integrated into one compact installation.
Solar generation is built directly into the canopy, turning the surface that creates shade into a source of renewable electricity. Passive protection from heat comes first, with active cooling used only where and when it adds value.
Behind the simple exterior, sensors and controls can respond to temperature, weather conditions and occupancy while monitoring system health, resource consumption and environmental conditions.
And because cities — and cooling technologies — will continue to evolve, Fresh Point is not tied to a single generation of technology. Its modular architecture allows components to be maintained, replaced and upgraded over time, extending the useful life of the installation while allowing each Fresh Point to adapt to its location and the technologies of tomorrow.

Let’s Build Cooler Cities
Fresh Point is currently moving from concept to prototype.
We’re looking to connect with cities, public-space operators, event organizers, property developers and other organizations interested in deploying or testing urban cooling infrastructure.
We’re also open to conversations with investors and strategic partners who share our vision for more resilient, comfortable public spaces.
Whether you’re interested in a pilot installation, partnership, investment or simply want to learn more, we’d like to hear from you.
