A green area above 760 parking spaces, One location, two rarities The Netherlands’ deepest underground car park is located at the Kruisplein square, directly opposite Rotterdam Central Station.

The roof of the car park has been built using the Nophadrain Parking Deck System. This system provides optimal protection of the roof surface and offers a stable and durable underlayer for the intensive vegetation and pavements on top. The roof of...

Extensive green roofs Extensive green roofs are lightweight roofs covered with low-maintenance vegetation, such as succulents, herbs, and grasses that are specially adapted to the extreme weather conditions on roofs. They give the roofs a natural and friendly green look and increase the quality of the living environment. Green roofs are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also highly functional. For example, extensive green roofs slow down water drainage at peak precipitation, e.g. during the more frequently occurring heavy downpours, thus relieving the sewage system. In addition, green...

Intensive green roofs Intensive green roofs are comparable to soil-bound green areas, such as gardens and park landscapes. The vegetation for this roof needs a lot of water and regular maintenance. The vegetation consists of lawns, shrubs, and trees and can easily be combined with pedestrian and vehicular pavements. Intensive green roofs are not only found on buildings, but also over underground constructions such as car parks. The space taken up by the buildings and underground constructions is indirectly returned by installing an intensive green roof. The quality of the living environment...
