Creating the green roof in the shallow area. As seen in the pictures, Urbanscape Green solution was used to plant the high grass and turf into super shallow profile (5-10 cm).
A combination of Urbanscape Green Roll and greenery provided by Hibiya Amenis.
The design enabled the smooth transformation of the paved area into the grass roof top. It simply transformed a part of the concrete paving stones into a living space, while staying at the same level. Urbanscape provided a solid solution and achieved superb grass growth, as seen in the pictures from November 2019 and June 2020.
