One of the core components of my Coventry market refurbishment scheme is to utilise the roof space. The market has a pride in the utilisation of it for car parking, reducing the need for surface parking elsewhere within the city centre. Following my city wide analysis, there’s a need for a defined green space and there’s an argument to say that it should be used in this manner over any other. I’ve looked at precedents in the utilisation of roof space:
Park ‘n’ Play, Jaja Architects
Garden House, Hayhurst and Co.
Jintai Village Reconstruction, Rural Urban Framework
Hi Matt, this is really interesting, thanks for sharing. I have an irl site in a town centre where we are looking at doing green roofs and will definitely check out some of these precedents!
