Preserve natural landscapes with Drainroof
7 August 2024
New construction requires thoughtful design in natural environments to avoid increasing flood risks and urban heat island. Drainroof preserves green areas and helps maintain rainwater permeability, seamlessly integrating into the existing landscape. Explore 3 Drainroof projects below to see how they blend into natural settings and contribute to sustainable construction practices.
Filodivino Wine Resort & Spa, San Marcello, Italy
Designed by architect Cristiana dell’Acqua from Studio dell’Acqua, Filodivino was integrated into the terrain, with its roof being the largest surface exposed to temperature changes. Drainroof enhanced the building’s insulation, improving its energy efficiency and blending harmoniously into the hills of the Marche region.
Courmayeur roof garden, Aosta, Italy
Parking lots often feature large, flat concrete surfaces that retain significant heat in summer, negatively impacting the natural environment. Drainroof created a sloped green roof over the Aosta telecabin parking lot, reducing temperature fluctuations and enhancing the area’s visual appeal.
Panoramic lookout, Marina di Pisa, Italy
Marina di Pisa port’s seaboard was designed as a pedestrian and bicycle pathway lined with seating and garden areas. Drainroof was used for creating the green spaces at the panoramic lookout, improving the functionality and overall sustainability of the project.
