Turning the roof into a place to stay: the radial pergola casts shade and organizes decks and planters around the green.

Design statement

This project designs an outdoor space with a green roof, meant to offer comfort, a place to gather and a closer connection with nature. It turns the area into somewhere to stay and rest, bringing in planting, seating areas and circulation.

The timber pergola creates a shaded, welcoming area, while landscaping with different plant species improves thermal comfort, environmental quality and the look of the space. Decks and furniture were placed to encourage people to gather and use it.

The green roof was proposed as a sustainable solution: it helps lower temperatures, absorbs rainwater and improves the local microclimate, while tying the architecture to the landscape. The result is a functional, pleasant and more environmentally balanced space.
