Green Roof Enhances Iconic Viking Landmark

A beautiful green roof now crowns the new souvenir shop at the entrance to Plohn theme park. This living, sedum-mix design resembles a green cloak for the iconic wooden Viking, enhancing the fairy tale theme while boosting biodiversity and air quality.

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.

A Fairy-Tale Roof at Plohn Park

The new souvenir shop at the entrance to the Plohn theme park has been fitted with a green roof. The green roof appears as a green cloak for the Viking on the roof. This wooden head is visible from afar. The sedum mix mats create a beautiful visual effect that perfectly matches the style of the fairy tale park. The plants produce a lovely effect and are also a good choice for air quality, water retention, and biodiversity.

Structure of the Green Roof

The Geozelle system was selected for the slightly sloping roof surface. This is an expandable grid that serves as a holder to keep the substrate in place. For this roof pitch, this system is a suitable base for the Sempergreen Sedum-mix blankets.

Winter Installation

The green roof was installed in winter. Many people are unaware that it is actually possible to install a green roof in winter. In a climate like that of Plohn – with an average of 37°F – this is one of the great advantages of the Sempergreen Sedum mix blankets. Winter installation is only possible with pre-grown vegetation blankets and Sedum trays.
