Founding Partners Project Smartroof 2.0:
The founding partners worked over 2 years on the details enabling the realization of Project Smartroof 2.0. Initially planned on the rooftop of the ANDAZ Hotel, a location change had to be made due to permit related issues. A new home was found at Marineterrein Amsterdam. All parties involved recognize the importance, value and potential of Blue-Green roof systems whether it being for real estate value, biodiversity, rainwater management and re-use, building energy performance, urban resilience, human health or reduction of the urban heat island effect. All involved displayed endless patience and drive in the early stages of the project, refusing to let go of the idea, motivated by the vision that cities could be better place to live in, and should be.
