Intensive

The traditional garden. From earth to air

An intensive rooftop garden is what is commonly called “roof garden”. It represents the replica, on a rooftop, of a ground-based garden, developing the aesthetical and functional aspects of the roof. Plants can be chosen among a vast selection and they will grow exactly like the ones in a normal garden.

A fully integrated green aesthetic

Daku’s intensive systems demand constant maintenance, irrigation and nutrition, but assure high performances regarding accessibility and usability, plus a remarkable aesthetic value. They have a minimum width of 24 cm and a total weight (when full of water) of 200 kg/m2. They create a walkable surface with grass and small bushes (high up to 60 cm).

As the thickness of the substrate increases, the vegetation choices then multiply. Through the use of certain plant species, it is possible to create roof gardens with a usability and aesthetic appearance quite similar to traditional earth-based gardens, making the building envelope both beautiful and usable.
