1:1 Architects shared their design idea for retro fitting high-rise buildings in Melbourne with a modular system of independent green roof structures. The new roof is designed to be installed, modified or even dismantled quite easily.  “Our green roof concept is a flexible modular system, designed to adapt to varying scale rooftops and respond to differing site conditions and functional requirements,” explained the architects.  The roof provides a new atmosphere for the existing buildings where a variety of activities, such as an informal meeting or a simple lunch break, can be held.

A while ago we featured the re-Growth Pod, a design that came as a solution for the more than 750 houses destroyed by the unstoppable fires in Australia, killing over 210 people in the state of Victoria.

Our friend Ben Edwards, from australian firm 1:1 Architects sent us some images of the re-Growth Pod finally arriving on site.
