• Semi-intensive green roof (depth 100-400mm)

The Parc is a true oasis in the heart of down town Auckland, designed by landscape architect Debbie Tikao of Natural Habitats is a garden for the senses and the seasons.

Built in 2002 the 3,500 m² private park was one of the first green roofs of this size to be constructed in New Zealand. The park is a private sanctuary with expansive lawn areas and pool .The structure underneath the garden was developed to support extra weight around the edges of the lawn where extra depth in soil was required for the establishment of trees. Growing media was specifically manufactured to be lightweight and the depth of the lawn within the centre of the park is only 100mm. Nine years on and the garden is thriving.

The design is visually stunning viewed from the above apartments and provide a degree of separation and privacy for the apartments on the ground level. The aesthetic of the park also had to embody traditional qualities to reflect the style of the architecture
