Green Roof
Structures

metroSTOR’s green roof structures combine practical external storage with biodiversity, carbon reduction and visual integration benefits, helping developments enhance sustainability performance while reducing long term maintenance and environmental impact.

Green Roof Bin Stores
Coopers Hill, Bracknell

Coopers Hill in Bracknell demonstrates how early, well coordinated waste and recycling design can support high quality regeneration, with 22 integrated metroSTOR bin stores providing secure, accessible and visually sympathetic infrastructure for a new town centre community.

Green Roof Storage Units
Peffermill Playing Fields, Edinburgh

The Peffermill Playing Fields project shows how a high capacity, compact metroSTOR storage building can support elite and community sport while reinforcing the University of Edinburgh’s sustainability and biodiversity ambitions through sensitive design and green roof specification.

Waste Management Design Advice

What does good waste design look like in residential buildings? In this webinar, Jose Sorribes and Nyomi Rowsell from Buro Happold joined Nigel Deacon to explore why early planning is crucial to avoid long-term problems. Drawing on UK and international experience, the session covered key principles from bin accessibility and waste forecasting to fire safety and technology integration. Speakers highlighted how design details—from lighting to layout—directly shape resident behaviour and system performance. With Simpler Recycling on the horizon, the message was clear: well-designed infrastructure is essential for success.
