Green Infrastructure Rooftop Design
Greening our Cities
The Brief
Green the roofs on a city council-owned property as a part of their green infrastructure initiative. The below contributed to a feasibility study with Bridgman & Bridgman.
Design Response
Green walls, space for community food growing, wildflower meadows, and a biodiverse roof to support a range of ecosystems.
Adapted for climate change - absorbing water to reduce flooding, providing summer cooling and accommodating wildlife. Planted areas lock-up carbon.
Healthy - helping our physical and mental health by absorbing pollution, providing clean air, potentially food and space to socialise, learn new skills and have contact with nature.
Biodiverse - supporting a wide variety of native species providing shelter and food and strengthening
existing green corridors.
Smart and Sustainable - techniques and technologies are low maintenance and designed with resource reduction in mind.
Multifunctional - making use of available resources with maximum impact.
