Ramping Rooftop Gardens

Bam! Arquitectura Designed a Buenos Aires Home with a Multi-Level Garden

— June 15, 2017 — Art & Design
The weather in Buenos Aires is perfect for growing vegetation year round, and Bam! Arquitectura has designed a home to take advantage of those balmy climes. The narrow townhouse, which is called House MeMo, has a rooftop garden that follows along a sloping ramp down onto an exterior balcony on the second floor and then through to the interior of the home on the ground floor.

The interior portion of the ramped garden is fully exposed to the outside elements from above; it effectively drops into the interior of the home. This allows the garden to benefit from natural sun and precipitation, reducing the labor power that would otherwise be required from House MeMo's residents. That interior portion is enclosed by glass walls, blocking any garden mess from spilling into the central living space.
Trend Themes
1. Rooftop Gardening - The trend towards rooftop gardening allows for year-round vegetation growth in urban areas and reduces the need for external labor power.
2. Multi-level Design - The trend towards multi-level design incorporates greenery into urban spaces and provides opportunities for creative and unique architecture.
3. Indoor-outdoor Living - The trend towards indoor-outdoor living blurs the lines between interior and exterior spaces and offers opportunities for year-round enjoyment of nature.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architecture firms can incorporate rooftop gardens and multi-level design into their projects, providing environmentally friendly and unique living spaces.
2. Urban Agriculture - The trend towards rooftop gardening creates opportunities for urban agriculture businesses to provide fresh produce year-round in cities.
3. Home Improvement - Companies that offer home improvement products and services can promote the indoor-outdoor living trend and design products specifically for rooftop gardens and outdoor living spaces.
