It runs off in minutes — and floods the street below.

The canopy

Plants that survive Jordan's hills unaided.

Sedum and ice-plant carpet. Wild za'atar. Sage. Native, evergreen, drought-hardy.

The substrate

Tuff. Pumice. Zeolite. Biochar.

An engineered growing medium — every grain sourced in Jordan.

The reservoir

7–8 litres held per tray.

No pumps. No wiring. The plants drink from below, all summer.

The roof

The same roof. Alive.

Up to 25°C cooler at the surface.* Runoff held back from the street.

The object

One tray.

And then comes summer

The other half of the year.

The same cover that holds the storm shades the concrete in July — up to 25°C cooler at the surface, 2–5°C in the rooms below.*

The edible layer

Every fourth tray can feed you.

Swap any tray in the field for an herb tray — za'atar, thyme, sage, mint — and the roof starts paying you back in the kitchen. Same snap-fit, same reservoir, same zero pumps.

One number to hold on to

per m² of living green cover

Installed, planted, and already working — the tray, the substrate, the plants, the setup. One number, everything in.

Be part of the green cover

Every roof that joins
cools the street below it.

Tray by tray, a living cover is spreading over the city — holding the storm where it lands, shading the concrete, feeding the air. Your roof has a place in it. We screen the structure, plant it, and it starts working with the first rain. Amman first, from 2026.
