The Growing Up Green Roof featured in the 2010 Melbourne Open House Program with great success. Over 2000 visitors experienced the unique design of the green roof in the duration of one weekend. Short presentations from Bent Architecture and the Growing Up team gave visitors insight into the environmental benefits of a green roof and the process behind constructing a green roof on top of an existing building. The roof was received with much enthusiasm and interest from the public.
Melbourne Open House is a free of charge event giving Melburnians and visitors to the city a rare opportunity to discover the often hidden wealth of design, architectural, engineering and historic attractions nestled around the city. Now in its third year, the event continues to grow with over 60 open buildings across a weekend in various locations across Melbourne.
