Opening Basle
On the 13 June 2008 we are proud to open the greenroof finally to the public.
Together with Stephan Brenneisen and his team from ZHAW we first celebrate with the Councillor Barbara Schneider and inform the press about the design process.
Later we welcome the public on the roof providing exiting information about the greenroof and enjoy the rare moment of being on the rooftop.
Thanks to the Team
This is for us as well the first date to experience the greenroof in its full dimension. The ZHWA team did a magnificent job; the plants blossom and the wooden structures shape our design convincingly.
