Berkeley

This popular Berkeley folk music venue relied on a living roof and flow-through stormwater planter to satisfy city code regulations. More than 50% of the roof is covered in native meadow and wildflowers, and the conventional roof area drains to a planter box filter at street level; together these features reduce the amount of stormwater flowing into city infrastructure, and prefilter what water does drain to storm pipe. The living roof also reduces energy required for cooling and provides habitat for native birds and butterflies.
