Motivation

Green roof award 2021 – Turning grey to green

The 2021 Green roof award is awarded to the green roof installations on Økern Portal. This project is an interesting newly developed project that takes an overall and inclusive approach to the vegetation design, the use of space and potential values that can be incorporated into a green roof design. 
The green roof is designed to be multifunctional where different vegetation types are chosen to increase ecosystem service performance and environmental quality but also for restoration and rest. Some parts of the roof are designed to include possibilities for learning about growing and its role for urban sustainability. Access is well integrated into the design as well as storage for equipment and material used in maintenance of the roof. 

The Økern Portal green roof shows great potential for supporting the urban environment as well as human recreation, throughout the year and many years to come.
