Roof Terrace Irrigation

One of the main goals for the designers of 80 Charlotte Street, MAKE Architects, was to engender a strong sense of

wellbeing for the office workers, residents and public that use it. As part of this commitment, the design

allowed the inclusion of numerous roof terraces, both private and shared for the offi ces and residents, offering

dramatic views over Fitzrovia including the BT Tower.

Green-tech involvement

Green-tech were contacted by Barton Willmore landscape architects, with whom we have a long working

relationship going back nearly ten years, to quote for irrigation for the many planters required on two of the

external terraces; part of a design developed by Piercy & Company Architects for a specifi c high-end tenant

fi t-out.

The most effective solution was to use Green-tech’s Mona tank system. This subterranean reservoir system

irrigates the soil through capillary action, reducing watering frequency whilst at the same time, aerating the

soil.
