Steep Vegetated Walls and Green Roofs at JST Corporation - Farmington Hills, MI

Located in Farmington Hills, Michigan, the future home of JST Corporation, this project redefines sustainable construction, making it a great fit for Inhabitect. This project aligns with our mission and values, and we are proud to be part of something that will have such lasting environmental, social, and economic impacts.
Since early 2022, our team has been working hard to build expansive engineered vegetated walls and complex slopes around the building, as well as three different extensive green roofs which will be completed in early 2023. These technologies will help this facility blend into its natural surroundings.
Fun facts: Inhabitect has moved over 6,500 cubic yards (approximately 20 million pounds) of topsoil and stone materials on this project. The vegetated and stone-faced retaining walls reach as high as 12-feet in some areas. A cellular confinement system was used to ensure soil stabilization and to reinforce the steep slopes that surround these buildings.
