MELBOURNE’S SKYLINE is now a little greener with the completion of the world’s first fully-funded, competition-designed, retrofitted green roof.
Located atop 131 Queen Street, Melbourne, Growing Up is an initiative of eight young business leaders taking part in the Committee for Melbourne’s Future Focus Group and demonstrates the environmental and social benefits of green roofs on city buildings. The project recently won the Melbourne Design award for Commercial Architecture.
A garden oasis within the city, Growing Up had considerable financial and in-kind industry support to become a best-practice example of how public and private organisations can partner with industry, business and research institutions to create innovative solutions to combat climate change. KHD was a key part of this team that created the Growing Up project.

Nice website, I think I recognize this design from somewhere, is it a template? It suits your website anyway.
