For the iconic building of the Museum of Ethnography, the architects dreamed up a roof garden which is also connected to the ground level and can be freely walked in by all visitors to the City Park. In the development of the green areas, numerous special requirements had to be met besides the general criteria. The roof garden has a limited top-soil thickness for planting, while the gradual incline of the garden makes the retention of precipitation and irrigation water as well as the maintenance and gardening works rather challenging. For the same reason, the green areas are more exposed to weather and must deal with more extreme conditions. The BREEAM rating of the building is Excellent, to which the design of the roof garden and its ecological functions contributed in no small way.
