Designed Green Roofs
(Semi-Intensive)
Engineered for Impact, Designed to Inspire
Achieve stormwater control, energy savings, and architectural elegance in one system.
Designed vegetative green roofs—also known as semi-intensive systems—strike the perfect balance between engineering performance and visual appeal. These systems are ideal for visible roof areas where stormwater management, energy efficiency, and architectural beauty are equally important. With deeper soil profiles and diverse plantings, they transform rooftops into functional, living landscapes.
