Intensive
A traditional garden taken from the ground to the 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.
Intensive
A fully integrated vegetal 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).
A wider covering allows to install a bigger variety of plants and to have a rooftop garden with the same appearance of a ground-based one. The whole building will then become more ecological, usable and pleasant.
Intensive
