Intensive & Extensive Green Roof Design 

Scott Henson Architect LLC offers expertise in “green” or vegetated roof systems. We provide our clients with customized design strategies to realize the environmental, economic, and aesthetic opportunities provided by their otherwise unutilized roof spaces. 

A green roof can increase property resale or rental values, as well as provide aesthetic enjoyment for the owners and occupants. By choosing a green roof over a conventional property owners choose a higher performance solution not only for their building but for the environment as well.  

Our services include in-depth assessment, evaluation and analysis of existing roof conditions, feasibility studies, customized recommendation reports and cost estimates, comprehensive green roof design including roof membrane & insulation replacement, waterproofing, drainage systems, growing medium and landscaping systems, irrigation systems, and mechanical and structural system coordination, construction drawings and specifications, city agency filings, and contract procurement and administration.
