Mt Difficulty Wine Barrel Store

New Zealand’s largest extensive living roof was installed at Mt Difficulty Wines in March 2012.


Covering an expansive 900m², the brief was to incorporate local grasses and stonecrop sedum. A palette of grasses was chosen to suit the lightweight pumice-based growing medium. Locally sourced thyme and sedum were used for aromatics and colour respectively.

Using the LiveRoof® pre-vegetated modular system, the roof was installed in 4 days.
