This extensive biodiversity green roof is located at the L’Oréal premises in Nea Ionia, Athens, Greece. It is in an urban zone surrounded by public and private gardens, archaeological sites, athletic stadiums, and small hills.  The main targets of the Landscape Architecture Plan were to recognize nature as an integral part of an innovative urban development and explore the potential in terms of climate change mitigation.

The landscape design proposed a green roof in two distinctive zones, stimulating the small biotopes of the surrounding area and becoming a biodiversity center for the education and awareness of staff and visitors. Τhe zone of information and awareness gave emphasis to the presentation of biodiversity value, through demonstrative interventions. The zone for wildlife gave emphasis to the hospitalization of flora and fauna species with the minimum human intervention. It consists of areas for fauna to winter, rest, nest, breed and eat. Trees, shrubs, and perennials, favoring a biodiversity which gives the roof both ecological, visual, and social values.
