Located in Austin's Northfield Neighborhood, this intensive green roof sits a top a 250 sq ft -detached bunk house at the residence of one of GRoWERS' co-founders, Casey Boyter. Completed in the Fall of 2009, this roof aims to serve as a poster-child for creative ways of implementing green infrastructure.

The soil ranges from 8-10" in depth and weighs 70 lbs/ sq ft. Given these depths, the plant pallet includes over 35 different species: cascading roses, crossvine, extensive varieties of desert and prairie grasses as well as 25 sq ft of Zoysia lawn.

Benefits of this particular roof include but are not limited to: onsite water processing, additional amenity space for this tight urban site, insulation and shading value for the building and waste diversion- as the roofing membrane will last 2-3 times longer than conventional options.

Many parties were involved in the implementation of this green roof including: Jerry Craig/ Texas 5th Wall roofing Systems, Charlie Glaze and Stacy Schuman of AD Willis, Brian Gardiner/ Austech Roofing Consultants, George Altgelt/ Geo Growers Inc, Lauren Woodward and Dylan Siegler/ GRoWERS co-founders and Mark Simmons/ UTLBWFC.
