Brooklyn architects Solid Objectives- Idenburg Liu (SO-IL) have designed a rooftop landscape of allotments to showcase green roof technologies on an industrial building in Queens, New York City.

The project has been commissioned by Garden City Roofs, a company that specialises in green roof systems.

‘As a result of Bloomberg’s PlaNYC, in which he call for buildings to be more energy efficient by 2030, interest in green roofs is on the rise,’ says Florian Idenburg of SO-IL. ‘Our client is a start-up company who is catering to this new interest, mostly by inexperienced building owners.’

To be completed spring 2009.
