What makes this project unique is that there are beautiful trees in an (almost) impossible growing location, but we managed to create optimal growing conditions by mimicking nature.
Maankwartier Heerlen
Maankwartier Heerlen
Maanplein in Heerlen is the central plaza in the completely rebuilt city-centre, surrounded by high rise apartment buildings. It is one of 3 interconnected rooftop parks sited above the shopping center, Central train station and a parking garage.
It is intended as a place where people come together to walk or enjoy public events. Mature trees grow in specially designed mounds of lightweight soil on top of the roof over the shopping center. The entire square functions as a water collection basin with the use of the Permavoid 85 Capillary Irrigation System, and the water made available for the trees using the capillary irrigation system.
