Green roof over the multi-storey public parking in Sibiu – Hipodrom area

At first glance, a multi-storey parking lot seems like the last place you would expect to see greenery. And yet, the project in the Hipodrom area demonstrates exactly the opposite: that urban infrastructure can be functional without being visually aggressive.

The semi-intensive green roof installed over this parking lot practically recovers the green area lost by occupying the land at ground level. Instead of a concrete mass visible from the windows of the surrounding apartment blocks, residents now look at a coherent, well-structured green zone that breathes with the city.

The more generous substrate layer allows for the development of stable vegetation, with perennial plants that endure well over time and create a pleasant microclimate. Beneath this green “carpet,” hundreds of cars are parked orderly, in civilized conditions, sheltered from the sun and bad weather. Above, the roof contributes to reducing the heat island effect and mitigates the visual impact of the construction in an already densely built neighborhood. It is a clear example that parking lots do not have to be simple utilitarian structures but can become discreet yet valuable pieces in the urban fabric.
