Bespoke Green Roof Designs

Green roofs are plants and vegetation growing on a roof. They are sometimes known as living roofs and can contain sedum and a variety of New Zealand native plants, which grow in a substrate/growing medium. Generally they are not grass roofs.

A green roof is the logical choice when considering environmentally sustainable design (ESD) in buildings in urban areas. They benefit the environment in a number of ways.

Living roof systems help improve air quality, insulate buildings, reduce urban heat island effects and they support biodiversity. In addition, water retention from green roofs also reduce rainwater run off which helps reduce storm water pollutants entering waterways.
