The green roof 6

The option for the green roof was both its ecological value and its importance
drainage drainage
to physically integrate and link the building to hill and its surrounding weavy
landscape. It also helps to reduce the impact of climate change by keeping
the building cool in summer, soaking up heavy rainfall and absorbing carbon
dioxide from the atmosphere.
As 200kg/m2 soil will be used for construction, the roof may turn into an
interactive and useful space, giving the possibility to be planted. exterior concrete wall 150mm
