Create a green hanging garden
- Quality of life also means living in spaces that are not only comfortable, but that can provide an environment as natural and alive as possible, also in the city.
- A green roofing system allows to expand the living space, making the most of areas that before were out of reach, and to transform the roof into an actual garden, an area that is alive and that can be used in many different ways, where beauty, well-being and joy of living take centre stage.
- Walking barefoot on the grass has a great beneficial effect on the mood. But the green space can also be used to grow and harvest early produce, herbs such as lavender, sage, bay, oregano, basil coriander, goji berries and so on.
- Even a very small green space in the city can have great decorative value. Moreover: thanks to the photosynthesis process, bushes and medium trees can produce oxygen, contributing to a better air quality.
- More “green” in the city will make buildings alive, with surfaces that grow and change with the seasons, at the same time giving back to the earth as greenery the same amount of soil occupied by the building.
