Sustainable Parking Design with Living Walls

The  four-level parking garage of Glostrup Hospital in Denmark, designed by architects Christensen & Co., includes a prominent green architecture with a clear sustainable profile.

Multifunctional surface

Every part of the roof contributes. Rainwater is buffered and nature is given room to grow.

Climate adaptive design

The roof stores water during heavy rainfall and helps cool the surroundings during summer heat.

Biodiversity in the built environment

A diverse planting plan attracts pollinators, birds and native insects. This turns the roof into a thriving ecosystem.

A green welcome to Glostrup Hospital

The new four-level parking garage of Glostrup Hospital in Denmark, designed by Christensen & Co. Architects, is much more than a place to park. With its distinctive green façade and strong sustainable profile, the building has become a striking landmark on the hospital campus — a welcoming prelude to the hospital’s focus on health, care and well-being.

Green all around

In 2015, a SemperGreenwall Outdoor was installed around the entire garage, transforming what could have been a purely functional structure into a living, breathing piece of architecture. The façade, made up of pre-grown Flexipanels, features a carefully selected mix of flowering plants chosen for their ability to thrive in both sunny and shaded conditions. Throughout the seasons, the wall changes colour and texture, creating a dynamic and ever-evolving appearance.

Sustainability that shows

The green façade doesn’t just look beautiful — it also contributes actively to a healthier urban environment. The plants help purify the air, reduce noise, and regulate temperature, while providing a touch of nature that softens the surrounding built environment. For hospital staff and visitors alike, the green garage offers a sense of calm and balance before entering the bustling hospital area.

By integrating greenery into every layer of the design, Glostrup Hospital underlines its ambition to create a thriving, sustainable environment where people and nature coexist. The result is a functional yet inspiring structure that proves even a parking facility can contribute to a greener future.
