Installing a roof garden system is never a particularly easy feat. So, when the building is ‘hung’ off the side of a cliff and the site has no vehicle access, the project becomes even more interesting. This architecturally designed masterpiece on Banks Peninsula included a Viking Roof Garden System that offers both functional and aesthetic benefits as it blends in with its coastal environment

The project involved supply and installation of a waterproofing membrane system on a naturally challenging cliff site. The material for the proposed system was in excess of 2 tonnes and with no vehicle access within 50 metres, all material had to be carried and loaded onto the roof by hand.

"They were really good. When a new sub-contractor comes on site, you look at their work for about half an hour and you sort of know if you have to worry about them or not. I knew straight away I didn’t have to at all," says Logan.
