Rooftop Garden
Lightweight, waterproof-aware rooftop planting for apartments and offices.
Overview
What this work actually involves.
Rooftops in Bangladesh are windy, exposed and structurally limited. We design planting that respects load, drainage and waterproofing: planters, lightweight soils, shade structures and species that tolerate heat. The result is a usable outdoor room, not a collection of cracked pots.
Process
How we move.
01
Structure
Load, outlets, parapets and access.
02
Planters
Depth, irrigation and wind-stable compositions.
03
Planting
Heat-tolerant, low-litter species where needed.
04
Use
Seating, shade and a simple care routine.

- Maintenance plans for building management
Questions
Asked before the work starts.
- Will plants damage the roof?
- Not if drainage, planter isolation and waterproofing are respected. We do not cut into membranes. Planting sits in specified containers or approved build-ups.
