Integrated Design
A living building is a symbiosis of landscape and architecture. We combine the expertise of 15 years of experience on the roof with innovative landscape design. We design multifunctional landscapes where green space and utility are combined with water storage and energy production.
Our designs are characterised by a playful and fluent design that is tailored to the use. Due to our years of experience in implementation, we are aware of the financial and technical feasibility of the project during the design. The design is also continuously tested for feasibility in the management phase.
In our opinion, the roof garden is the starting point for further greening of the building and its surroundings. For this reason, we prefer to work closely with the building architect to bring architecture and landscape together. Measures in the field of nature inclusive building are part of our integrated design philosophy.
Climate Adaptation
Green is nothing without blue. Water is becoming an increasingly important factor in the built environment. For this reason, water nuisance, drought and heat are an integral part of our design approach. We go a step further than local rainwater regulations. We do this by means of an extensive analysis that results in a water balance per project, with which the developer complies with the rainwater regulation and the future user achieves maximum water savings.
Roof technical design
All that beauty on the roof only adds value if the roofing system underneath is durably waterproof. Many of the problems in the usage phase are the result of choices in the design phase. Insulation value, vapour pressure calculations, the right roofing and structurally good connection to upstands and shafts form the basis of a roof with a long lifespan. With our 15 years of experience, we know where the problems can occur and we ensure that these are secured in the design phase.
