Company roofs

Turn your company's roof into a building and sustainability asset

Offices, hotels, coworking spaces and commercial buildings: we assess the roof, coordinate the specialists and document what changes.

Is this for you?

A good fit if…

You own or manage a building

An office, a hotel, a coworking space, a facility or a commercial building with a flat roof or terrace.

You work on facilities or sustainability

Facilities, ESG, sustainability or real-estate teams.

You want action you can document

A visible intervention on your own asset, with records for your reporting.

What you get

Three kinds of value from one roof

Building

Less heat on the top floor, waterproofing protected from sun and heat, rainwater held on the roof. Can sit alongside solar panels, subject to design.

People

Greener views, usable outdoor space where feasible, and a place your employees, members or guests will enjoy.

ESG

Documented action on an asset you manage: records, agreed indicators and a possible contribution to building certifications.

More than a roof: a place for your people and your guests

A green roof can become part of daily life in your building: one more reason for people to come in, and for guests to stay.

A break your team looks forward to

Coffee, lunch and informal meetings on a green roof, a few steps from the desk.

Work among the plants

A quiet corner to work or take a call in the fresh air: a perk for coworking members and staff alike.

A terrace your guests remember

For hotels: breakfast, drinks or a quiet moment on a green rooftop that sets you apart.

Events with a view

Team gatherings, client receptions and private events under the plants.

  1. Vegetation: plants chosen for the roof and climate
  2. Substrate: light growing medium, not garden soil
  3. Filter fabric: keeps fine soil out of the drainage
  4. Drainage & water storage: holds rainwater, drains the excess
  5. Protection mat: shields the waterproofing
  6. Root-resistant waterproofing: stops water and roots
  7. Your existing roof: checked for load before we start

A green roof is not soil spread on a terrace. It is a tested system of layers that protects the building, holds rainwater and keeps the plants alive with little care.

It sits on top of your existing roof. That is why the first thing we check is whether the structure can carry the extra weight, whether the waterproofing is in good shape, and how the roof is accessed safely for maintenance.

Which type fits your roof

Three kinds of green roof

Extensive green roof with sedum on a residential building in Stockholm

Extensive

Low plants such as sedums, grasses and wildflowers.

  • About 8–15 cm of growing medium
  • The lightest option: roughly 80–150 kg/m² when wet
  • A few maintenance visits a year

Best for: large flat roofs on offices, warehouses and retail, with low running costs.

Semi-intensive green roof with grasses and perennials on a terrace

Semi-intensive

Perennials, aromatic herbs and low shrubs.

  • About 15–25 cm of growing medium
  • Roughly 150–250 kg/m² when wet
  • Some watering and seasonal care

Best for: a roof terrace your team can use for breaks and events.

Intensive

A real roof garden, with shrubs, lawn and even small trees.

  • 25 cm of growing medium or more
  • From about 300 kg/m² when wet
  • Garden-level care and irrigation

Best for: flagship buildings with a strong structure and a roof open to staff or visitors.

Indicative values. The exact system, weight and maintenance depend on your roof and are confirmed by the installer after the preliminary assessment.

How it works for you

Four steps, one team

01

Share your objectives

Building, team, reporting: what matters to you.

02

Preliminary assessment

Structure, waterproofing, permits and incentives.

03

Specialist and design

The right installer from our network, one project lead.

04

Delivery and records

Installation, maintenance plan and documentation.

Your investment

An investment in your own building

After the preliminary assessment, we prepare a tailored proposal based on your roof’s size, structure, access and the system chosen.

We also look into the public grants and incentives that may apply to your building.

The result is an improvement to an asset you own or manage, with documented outcomes you can use in your sustainability reporting.

FAQ

Questions we often hear

Less heat on the top floors in summer, a roof membrane protected from sun and temperature swings, and rainwater retained on the roof.

If the structure, access and safety allow it, yes. Otherwise a low, non-walkable green roof still delivers most of the building benefits.

Green roofs can contribute to some credits in schemes such as LEED, BREEAM or WELL, case by case with your certification consultant.

We plan it with the installer from the start; it can be covered by a maintenance agreement.

It depends on the city and the building. In most cases a green roof on an existing building needs a communication or a minor-works permit. If you rent the building, the owner also needs to agree. We check what applies and prepare the documents with the installer.

The installation itself usually takes from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the size of the roof. Before that, the assessment, design and approvals take most of the time. After the assessment we give you a realistic timeline.

No suitable roof?

Adopt one in the city where you work. We find the roof, build it and give you the records of what your company made possible.
