The green roof of the Queen Street Hotel in Ontario is located on the hotel's own underground garage and was designed to resemble a Zen garden. Even the over 100-year-old forge building was integrated. The approx. 1.800 m² roof area includes an intensive green roof, walkways and water features. Specially designed planting areas for perennials and the higher planters troughs for trees are watered using the rainwater collected from the garden. The system build-up used here with Floradrain® FD 40-E represents a multifunctional green roof assembly with high water retention capacity. It is best suited for lawns, perennial plants such as shrubs, bushes and trees. This structure is also suitable for paving slabs.

  • Lawn with raised plant beds
    The lawns form a green frame around the paved areas.
  • Walkways, fire pits and plant beds with small trees
    The arrangement and design of the planting areas reflect the Zen philosophy.
  • Walkways, water features and raised plant beds
    Floradrain® FD 40-E elements have been applied on the entire roof surface.
  • Bird's eye view onto the roof garden
    Shortly after completion of the roof surface.
  • Green roof during installation

  • Paved area with planters and plant beds
