The Kaveh Green Roof project, located in Jordaan, Tehran, was executed in 2018. This project used a centralized green roof system, covering an area of 200 square meters. The goal was to create a natural and relaxing space on top of Mr. Kaveh Behnam’s residence. The green roof helps improve air quality and reduce urban pollution by incorporating plants that are resilient to environmental conditions.
Key Features of the Project
- Centralized Green Roof System: The centralized system was designed to optimize the roof space and accommodate various plants in a confined area.
- Sustainability and Pollution Reduction: The green roof contributes to reducing air pollution and absorbing carbon dioxide.
- Aesthetic Appeal and Plant Variety: The diverse plants selected for this green roof not only enhance the beauty of the space but also provide a healthy environment with their natural features.
Challenges and Solutions
- Environmental Conditions: To tackle weather changes and pollution, resilient plants were chosen to withstand direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations.
- Limited Space: Through intelligent design of the centralized green roof system, the available space was utilized efficiently, ensuring full coverage of the roof.
Project Benefits
- Improved Quality of Life: Creating a peaceful and green environment for the residents.
- Energy Consumption Reduction: Providing shade and reducing the ambient temperature during the summer months.
- Environmental Compatibility: Reducing pollution and increasing green spaces in urban areas.
