In June this drab and dreary parking deck will be transformed forever into a small-scale urban farm-cum-garden. Plant pots full of herbs, vegetables and edible flowers plus special seating areas will together provide a green oasis amidst Heerlen’s roofscape. Up until mid-October, the rooftop garden will be hosting a multitude of events. The rooftop garden is a SCHUNCK initiative and forms part of the Heerlen Rooftop Project. This inspirational version of The Countryside, designed by Selvatico, a collective of architects, aims to provide a concrete answer to a complex and pressing problem that we are all facing: our climate!
80 percent of the plants are already in place, so the rooftop is slowly being transformed from grey to green. Keep an eye on our website and social media for updates about the event.
