Salmon Creek School

A diverse palette of succulents compose a rich ecological display for an environmental center at a LEED designed school.

This living roof works to maximize the building’s energy performance but is also used as part of the school’s eco-literacy and educational program of this K-8 grade school.

Solar tubes rise through the vegetation redirecting daylight down illuminating the rooms below.
