SUNWAY GEOLAKE RESIDENCES
Extensive Green Roof
360 m2
Gaia Mat System
2021
Working together with landscape designers from SD2, we were tasked to provide extensive green roofs with automatic irrigation system to 2 areas:
1) The central conservetory roof which is flanked by the residential tower on one side and townhouses on the other, making it very visible from inhabitants of these 2 buildings.
2) Cantilever RC roof extended towards the swimming pools.
We have taken into consideration the design intent to provide a low-maintenance selection of polyculture plants to ensure the roof can be maintained with minimal visits per year (10-12 maintenance visits annually). Besides the red and green of our hardy base plants, hidden in the conservatory GaiaMat system are a splatter of rain lilies which may be visible during the monsoon/rainy season.
Under the bridge crossing from residential block to the podium, it was decided that a mix of low-light tolerant species should be used instead due to the semi-shaded conditions.
