ARCHITECTS Patio Design
COMPLETION 2009
Inspired by the growing trend for green spaces within urban centres, Origin created a sustainable and cost-effective aesthetic green space for staff. Complete with drought-tolerant plants and incorporating a recycled water supply to irrigate the 200m2 semi-estensive green roof, the garden used local materials, scoria and composted bark fines, 10mm scoria mulch layer and an Australian native plant palette.
A Patio Design that combines extensive roof gardens with contemplative, 'time-out' spaces to enjoy
a break from the office. Using Scoria as a decorative stone mulch and a
range of native grasses and drought tolerant plants.
