Complete construction system
Structure, waterproofing, root barrier, drainage, substrate, plants, irrigation and maintenance access are designed together.
09Engineering & Infrastructure
Green roofs and façades
Combine building performance, water management, biodiversity and landscape quality.
Design structure, water, planting, access and care as one system.
A/01
Design principle
Data • Interfaces • Evidence
How can living systems be integrated without weakening the building or creating unmanageable maintenance?
01Extensive and intensive green roofs
02Green walls and façades
03Stormwater retention
04Urban heat island reduction
05Waterproofing protection
06Irrigation, plant selection and maintenance
Climate adaptation
Species and water systems reflect heat, wind, sunlight, water availability and maintenance capacity.
Verifiable performance
Loads, retention, drainage, safety, durability and maintenance responsibilities are defined during design.
Assignment method
From observation to performance evidence.
The approach maintains continuity from diagnosis and design through delivery and operation.
Verify structure and waterproofing
Define water and climate objectives
Select system and plant palette
Design irrigation, drainage and access
Plan seasonal care and monitoring
Deliverables
Documents designed to decide, procure, control and operate.
A deliverable is not a formality: it organises assumptions, responsibilities, interfaces and required evidence.

Typical assignment — method illustrationApplied scenario
A response built around the real problem.
- Situation
- A project aims to improve comfort, water retention and landscape quality.
- ANTA response
- Loads, waterproofing, substrate, plants, irrigation, drainage, access and maintenance are designed simultaneously.
- Expected outcome
- A living, durable and genuinely maintainable system.
This scenario illustrates a working method; it is neither a client reference nor a performance commitment without a study.
Interfaces
No lasting performance is designed in isolation.
Disciplines are connected to control transfers of load, energy, water, air, data and responsibility.
