GREENROOFS

There should be more greenroofs in Sydney! The Paddington Reservoir is a great example of what can be done. The Paddington reservoir is a water reservoir which provided water to the Botany Swamps pumping station for the provision of water to parts of Sydney between 1866 and 1899. After its many incarnations ,  in 2006 architects Tonkin Zulaikha Greer and landscape architects JMD Design began work to conserve, restore and reuse the space of the then derelict  reservoir,  it has been converted into a sunken garden with a rooftop reserve above the preserved section of the reservoir. Definately worth a visit when in Paddo!
