The so-called Flying Garden is the centerpiece of the residential complex: a more or less connected roof garden of 5,200 square meters. It extends across the entire area above the second floor and offers sweeping views of the Schlossberg, the center of Graz.
Roofs with extensive planting have a significantly lower surface temperature in direct sunlight than surfaces made from metal, gravel or other materials. Heat emission is lower, and the surroundings don’t heat up as much. Rainwater is slower to drain, too. This helps to relieve the drainage channels.
I found it particularly important to make sure the lush green and highly esthetic and welcoming appearance of the residential complex remains this way for a very long time,
The Brauquartier Puntigam is scheduled to be included in the “Wiener Leitfaden”, the guidelines for Vienna that are considered a directive for green buildings.
