TH King Pavilion, Glen Iris

Set at the entrance of a new pavilion built at TH King Reserve in Glen Iris, this multi use building includes a small roof garden and a ‘Florafelt by Fytogreen’ greenwall covering the amenity annex and screens off the service area. 
 
The Greenwall uses lush strappy foliage for this pallet of plants making it resilient to a range of conditions while requiring minimal maintenance.   Fytogreen’s botanist selected 10 different species and we used 200 plants to cover the area of the northeast facing wall. 
 
This small extensive roof garden has a profile of 160mm with a plant design incorporating  native species only.  The effect is to soften the other wise hard surface of the roof and reduce the rain water run off.  The garden extends the reserve parkland area onto the building.
 
Both the roof garden and green wall are irrigated by rainfall collected from the building roof and stored in a nearby rainwater tank.
