A sustainable, green appearance in Winterberg

In Winterberg, Germany, a ski lift house has been transformed with a lush Sempergreen green roof. The sustainable Sedum solution blends the building perfectly into its natural surroundings, adding year-round beauty and biodiversity to the alpine landscape.

Multifunctional Surface

Every component of the roof plays a role. Rainwater is buffered, and nature is afforded space to flourish.

Climate adaptive design

The roof stores water during heavy rainfall and helps cool the surroundings during summer heat.

Biodiversity in the Built Environment

A diverse planting plan attracts pollinators, birds, and native insects. This turns the roof into a thriving ecosystem.

Sedum Mix Blanket Type T for Pitched Roofs

The roof of the elevator house features a 20° pitched design. To green this sloping surface, the Sempergreen Sedum Mix Mat Type T was the perfect solution. Specifically developed for pitched roofs with inclinations up to 45°, this pre-cultivated vegetation mat contains a vibrant mix of 6 to 8 different Sedum species.

A Green Roof for Every Season

Thanks to its pre-grown nature, the Sedum Mix blanket Type T can be installed year-round, even during the colder months, as long as it’s frost-free. This flexibility ensures that the lift house in Winterberg remains green, resilient, and ready for every season — a perfect showcase of how sustainable design can complement even the most dynamic environments.
