We’re interested in good design that’s well implemented. Its true for the building below, and it should be the same for the living roof above. Sadly, without building regs to drive up standards, its not always so.
After training in Switzerland where green roofs are mandatory, our Founder, Lee Evans returned to the UK and launched Organic Roofs with the intention of bringing European quality to the UK market.
In the beginning
Our approach is to start with the plants and the create the conditions the ones you choose need to grow: there are many opinions and lots of products out there which can be confusing for clients, architects and contractors. But many years experience working with specialists on green roofs around the world Mexico to Switzerland to London and the whole UK has shown us that creating healthy living roofs that last is really simple.
Our success
We ensure we use enough substrate, water well in the early stages while the plants are rooting, and plan for some kind of light-touch care on an annual basis.
We work with forward-thinking property owners, developers and designers to create robust green roofs that endure year after year and have an excellent reputation for embracing and helping to deliver architecturally-challenging and ecologically thoughtful designs.
We like to work with good people, and our network of friends and collaborators include award-winning designers, ecologists and thought leaders. We’ve also won some awards ourself.
