Oasis in the Sky

Nature is a necessity in life. Access to green space is critical for our physical and mental wellbeing. While often lacking at-grade in our urban centres, intensive green roofs can create an oasis in the sky. Amenity green roofs provide a safe environment to relax, socialize, and connect with nature.  Additionally, an amenity green roof increases a building’s marketability and property value. 

Increase Property Value

  • Safe and private outdoor green amenity spaces are highly sought after in urban areas  
  • Maximize usage of building footprint, both indoor and outdoor, to increase ROI 
  • Intensive green roofs increase irrigation water reuse to meet stormwater requirements

Healthy Outdoor Space

  • Provides a safe and private outdoor green space to relax, work or play 
  • Encourages social interaction, improves physical and mental wellbeing 
  • LEED’s Sustainable Sites credits such as Open Space, Protect or Restore Habitat 

Connection with Nature

  • Satisfies our innate affinity with nature and other lifeforms 
  • Helps replicate displaced ecosystems, benefiting occupants, neighbours and environment 
  • Provides a natural habitat for birds, pollinators and insects
