A Living Roof
Above the plazas, a 10,000-square-foot green roof meadow integrates the sinuous building with the hillside. Planted with three mixes of meadow grasses, flowering perennials, and bulbs, the roof almost vanishes from some angles, while from others contrasting swaths of color make a bold visual statement. Each year in late winter, the grasses will be trimmed back, and flowering bulbs (snowdrop and daffodil) will emerge to herald spring.
