The existing roof was augmented with a 6,200 sq. ft. hybrid modular green roof system by LiveRoof® with two system depths to ensure an immediate result. Modules were filled with Engineered Soil™, pre-vegetated with LiveRoof® plants, and then placed over a drainage mat and waterproof membrane. Factors such as plant hardiness, species competition, foliage characteristics, and fall color were considered to create a complete plant palette. Perimeter roof railings were modified for code compliance and to accommodate tenant access to the roofs.
