A completely renewed terrace in the heart of Amsterdam with lots of greenery and science, with fantastic views of the city. On the roof, nature and technology meet. Discover how green spaces make for a healthy city. Study the clouds, measure the air quality, spot the different city birds and discover how smart ideas can help achieve a sustainable future. The roof is designed so that plants and animals find a place here, in the middle of the city.
The roof is designed to accommodate plants and animals in the heart of a European capital. NEMO’s new green, sustainable roof may be an artificial landscape constructed with the latest science and technology, but it functions as a natural ecosystem at altitude, home to more than 75 different species of flowers and plants. It is a green space that enhances biodiversity and quality of life in the city. Currently, the plants are small but will soon grow into a green oasis.
