Plans for the building included a 1,580-m2 green roof that absorbs approx. 2,000 kg of carbon and stores enough rainwater to meet nearly all of the premises' irrigation needs. Bees have already found a home here as well. In 2023, the overall area was expanded to 10,780 m2, the size of a football pitch measuring 90 by 120 metres. A growing number of sites in Austria are also creating their own green roofs, with Plant 4 in Bregenz (see image) being followed by Plant 6 in Gaissau, where a green roof measuring 5,767 m2 was installed.
