Green Roof (Maria)

The Green Roof is a "living" layer of shallow-rooted, drought-tolerant plants (like succulents and sedums) covering the warehouse roof.

It is part of the "Blue-Green-Solar Roof" and serves two critical functions for Project: Flamenco:

1. Thermal Insulation: The layer of soil and plants acts as a massive insulating blanket, absorbing solar radiation and preventing the sun from heating the warehouse roof. This drastically reduces the building's cooling load. 2. Water Pre-filtration: The green roof acts as a natural, "living" filter. As rainwater falls, the plants and soil trap dust, pollen, and other debris. This "pre-cleaned" water is then collected by the Rainwater Harvesting System and sent to the cistern.
