Union Chicken Restaurant Terrace Toronto

Toronto Terrace Design: The Visual Impact of Corten Steel at Union Chicken

In the heart of Toronto, Union Chicken restaurant combines its authentic cuisine with a distinctive outdoor design. To define this vibrant space, Urban Pot designed monumental Corten steel planters, creating a raw architectural signature that will age gracefully.

Corten steel: a living patina for an industrial-chic look

The choice of Corten steel for Union Chicken is not accidental. This material perfectly matches the restaurant's brand image:

• A material that evolves: When first installed, the steel has a grey metallic appearance. Over the weeks, it develops a protective patina with warm tones of rust, copper, and bronze.

• Urban contrast: The organic hues of Corten create a striking contrast with the surrounding glass and concrete in Toronto, catching the eye of passers-by.

• Maintenance-Free Durability: Once the oxidation layer forms, the steel is protected against deep corrosion, offering an ideal zero-maintenance solution for the catering industry.

Precision engineering for commercial spaces

Urban Pot designed these planters to meet the specific requirements of a high-traffic terrace:

• High-Performance Welding: Despite the material's raw appearance, each joint is precision-welded to ensure sealing and structural integrity.

• Strategic delimitation: Arranged in rows, these planters act as a protective barrier for customers, creating a bubble of conviviality and structuring traffic flow on the sidewalk.
