Next to an important highway near Medellín, in the municipality of Bello in Antioquia, a wonderful multifunctional green roof has been installed by Groncol. Groncol is also responsible for the aesthetic design of the roof on top of a building of PTAR, a wastewater treatment plant. Sempergreen Colombia has supplied 714 sq.mt of Sedum blankets for this remarkable project.
Aesthetics combined with cooling of the building
Since the roof can be seen from the highway, the visual impact was an important aspect when designing this roof. A beautiful winding path made of stone is placed through the Sedum blankets. This path is a wonderful demonstration of the flexibility of the Sempergreen Sedum blankets, that can be cut in any desired shape, giving the roof a nice organic pattern. The roof is not only inviting for employees to take a biophilic walk during their lunch break, it also has a beneficiary cooling effect on the building. In the hot Colombian climate, this is a very welcome benefit.
