NBF Partnership architect Andre Wong worked with the school to incorporate the green roof into their proposal. Planners gave the ‘camouflaged' building design their blessing. "By specifying a living roof, the design aim was to visually blend the building with the area," Andre explains.
The SarnaVert roof was installed by Cambridge Polymer Roofing (CPR), with planting by Blackdown Horticultural. "All went smoothly and the finished green roof looks very attractive." says CPR contracts manager Romeo Pascuzzi.
Nick Viscusi from main contractor Priory Gate agrees that the extension was a success. "Making a building of this size as unobtrusive as possible is no small task, so it's great that the team achieved a suitable, cost-effective solution through the design process. The speed of installation and long life of the SarnaVert system certainly played its part."
