We are removing concrete to create new green spaces that are valuable to the ecosystem.
We have used native plant species that coexist with the local fauna and require less water and maintenance.
They are designed to intercept part of the rainwater flowing from the parking lot before it goes to the rainwater sewage system. They were located in places where there are no underground networks and near rainwater drainage inlets due to the ease of making emergency overflows.
We have planted climbing plants on the south-facing façade.

What results have we obtained?
Our solutions reduce the runoff of rainwater from the site by almost 6%.
We have introduced 7 new species of trees and shrubs, and 20 species of climbing plants, perennials and grasses.
We have reduced the temperature by installing a green wall, planting new vegetation and changing the colour of the roofing felt to a lighter shade.
We have improved soil quality by increasing aeration and enriching the soil with beneficial organisms.
