sf. Semi-Intensive Greenroof

Project
Description & Details
|
|
|
The semi-intensive green roof was designed to balance
weight, plant variety, and water efficiency. With no prior
experience on green roofs, McGlashan Architecture did a
crash course on the subject, gathering information from many
sources to ensure a successful design. For the architect,
the biggest challenge was getting a handle on the many
overlapping fields of responsibility that converge on a
green roof: roofing, landscape design and installation,
material and soil suppliers, engineering, plumbing, sheet
metal, etc.
