First of all, it is an attractor, that can take the attention of the pedestrian and make them want to know the purpose of the building. Secondly, the green roof improves the ecological situation in the city of Kyiv. Possible, the use of green roofs will help Kyiv to truly take back the title of The Green City. Thirdly, the green roof creates a perfect place for the relaxation of visitors and the staff of the office.

Green roof is designed in a way that it can provide all season natural view of the building and local public space. Among client’s wishes was an idea of an easy dis/assembling of sales office for rapid location change. That’s why a structural frame possibility to disassemble was taken into account (into maximal transportable surface) for mobility, besides, with minimal damage to installation location. Thus, geo-piles were chosen for the foundations, that are an ecological choice, cause provide the smallest intervention into the eco-system.

It rises from the ground, and takes a tail of grass with it

The plants of the roof are chosen in such a way so that it can be a main beauty of the building in any season of the year

Greenery in winter is especially beautiful

Red sheaves in autumn. Isn’t that a Poetica?

Interior of the sales office contains physical model of Poetica residential block that is visible through the main facade from the main sidewalk of Dehtiarivska str.
