WINNER REGENIAL 2024
Berlin award for water-sensitive planning Our project for the water-sensitive conversion of the schoolyard of the St. Ursula primary school in Berlin Zehlendorf was awarded as winner of the REGENIAL! sponge city competition organised by the Regenwasseragentur Berlin. It was emphasised that, despite a low budget, it was possible to achieve large-scale unsealing, a near-natural design and to use all the rainwater on site instead of discharging it into the sewage system.We are very happy about the award and the increasing attention on the topic of the sponge city!
IN AN INTERVIEW WITH WEEKEND.GAZETA.PL
Implementation of green roofs in Warsaw Izabela Malachowska-Coqui talks about efforts to green cities, particularly in Hamburg, Berlin and Poland. In Hamburg, a war bunker is being transformed into a green oasis, while in Berlin, every flat roof is to be completely greened by 2024. Similar projects can also be found in Poland. Green carpets on the roofs of bus stops in Warsaw clean the air, store rainwater and improve humidity.
