The green roof atop Heartline’s timber office building features drifts of plant material to create a pattern similar to that of wood grain. Where the roof slopes, creating areas of greater soil volume, large perennials and shrubs are planted to give more seasonal color. In contrast, drifts of river cobble and sedums create patterns in the shallowest portions of the roof. Set within the planted wood grain are outdoor gathering spaces for the office building’s users. Learn more about the landscape design—from rooftop amenities to the public courtyard below—at this transit-oriented development in Portland’s Pearl District in our latest ideas post: “The Heartwood and the Seedling: Portland’s Pearl District Grows More Public Realm.” (clickable link in bio) 📷: @k7scott
