	  aWhen MataAlta Studio won the green roofs open competition promoted by the Barcelona City Council, founder Sergio Carratalá knew they had a unique opportunity to reintroduce nature into the middle of this densely built Mediterranean city. Els Terrats d’en Xifré is a rehabilitation project, both in the strict architectural-patrimonial sense and in the ecosystemic sense. This green roof is situated on top of an early 19th-century block of ten buildings. The project has restored the original elements of the historic building while also creating a “floating” wild garden that enhances urban biodiversity.
