IKEA GREENWICH

The contractor delivered the greening elements for the 3,500m² rooftop garden on IKEA’s Greenwich store, which has been awarded a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ accreditation and is the company’s greenest store to date. The green roof and roof garden comprise biodiverse and sedum covered areas, a wildflower meadow, raised urban farming beds for school, community and co-worker use, planters, paving and artificial turf for community activities. All areas surround a purpose-built rooftop pavilion, accessible all-year-round during store opening hours. The roof is London’s largest accessible rooftop for people and nature, offering extensive secure areas for local birds, bees and insects.
