Green roof in Passeig de Gràcia 20

On this roof we have worked as roof installation technicians. This roof was designed and thought out by Sergio Carratala from MataAlta Estudio, who contacted us because he needed an effective and fast installation.

We have worked side by side with him, finding the best technical solution for this small green roof with a rigorous delivery deadline. It was built with a multilayer system applied in the areas where there is substrate, the irrigation system was designed and installed, and, collaborating with the architecture studio, we managed to make a good selection of plants.

We chose the highest and widest plants for the areas with the thickest substrate and decreased the plants’ size gradiently until reaching that of creeping plants with little substrate thickness requirements.

The result has been a small roof of about 100 m2 where approximately 60% is green, a place where you can hold small events or celebrations. The green roof consists of passage areas, dunes of different heights, a Mallorcan brick bench and a majestic fig tree. Local plants were chosen.
