London 2012 Athlete’s Village: Living Roofs
As Project Lead, ALD collated a specialist team of Engineers, Ecologists and Soil Scientists, to deliver a site wide masterplan and detailed design proposal for habitat creation to the upper level residential roof tops — including development of an initial habitat research strategy which entailed on the ground soil testing and plant species quadrant sampling to define the habitats to be created.
​
As habitats are all lightweight mimics of ground level matrices, all material had to be verified and full documentation presented to the PDT, NHBC, ODA and Triathlon.
​
All design proposals comply with site wide environmental and sustainability strategies, and continued monitoring of Code for Sustainable Homes Compliance etc.
