Panoramic lookout, Marina di Pisa, Italy

Drainroof increased the sustainability and functionality of the panoramic lookout at the Marina di Pisa in Tuscany, Italy.

Marina di Pisa is a seaside resort developed from a small fishermen’s village in the second half of the 19th century. As part of the city’s plan to increase the public areas, the clients sought a solution for creating green gardens along the port’s seaboard. 

The project involved a panoramic viewing platform facing the port’s seafront, with a pedestrian and bicycle pathway lined with sitting and green areas. Geoplast experts suggested using Drainroof H6 for the gardens, completing several tasks simultaneously:

• Increasing the port’s green areas, reducing the heat island effect, 
• Seamlessly integrating the gardens with the natural landscape, 
• Promoting vegetation growth by enabling natural water retention and drainage,
• Further improving sustainability by using 100 % recycled plastic. 

By implementing Drainroof, the clients minimized the project’s environmental impact while enhancing the site’s public areas, showcasing the potential of innovative green solutions in urban planning.
