The extensive green roof system with a sedum blanket, installed three years ago, has stabilized excellently and shows vigorous vegetation.

The extensive green roof on this U2 tower block in Timișoara is one of those projects we have literally watched grow before our eyes.

Beyond aesthetics lies the less visible, yet essential part: protection of the waterproofing, thermal comfort, and that rare feeling of having built something that works with nature rather than against it.

There was no luxury of heavy machinery or large-capacity cranes here. Everything was done by manual lifting, with materials brought up piece by piece, in a confined space with difficult access and careful attention paid to every single step.

The complex was nominated for the National Architecture Biennale Awards, 2025 edition

Located right near the sea, on a building permanently exposed to wind, salt aerosols, and sudden temperature variations, this green roof enters spring in a spectacular way: blooming uniformly, without gaps or "tired" areas.

These are pre-cultivated vegetation mats, primarily composed of succulent species from the Sedum genus. These perennial plants are known for their resistance to harsh climatic conditions, including drought, intense UV radiation, and extreme temperature variations.
