In Alcantara Wastewater Treatment Plant’s modernization project, some environmental preservation reasons imposed the creation of a green roof. Furthermore, the program foresaw two service buildings: one for monitoring the Plant, and a second one to house the public company headquarter.
In this project, the different programs overlap: the plant is covered with a “thick habitable roof” which houses the facilities, corridors and other services. In a territorial scale, the green roof extends the natural hills of Alcantara Valley, reducing the damage the road infrastructures cause to the area.
