This coastal home required an ultra-light-weight green roof to blend in with its surrounds. The client was delighted to have a green roof that could withstand the wild west coast winds without leaving garden litter around their home. Project drivers: Create a green roof that didn’t require structural alterations to the building. Set in a windy, coastal environment the green roof couldn’t have any loose media. Design: Centred around the eco-pillow, the roof features two rows of eco-pillows with varying rows of textured plants. Rows were chosen to reduce the overall weight of the roof. Plants: A simple coastal palette was selected to thrive in this harsh saline environment. The palette includes Flax, Muehlenbeckia and Coprosma among others.

“We were always informed of what was happening and the work crew were friendly. There was little impact to our daily routine. We now sit in our outdoor living space when we come home; sometimes until late at night, when the feature lighting brings the garden to life. It feels like we are on holiday, even though we haven’t left home.”
