开姆尼茨工厂（Wirkbau Chemnitz）是以前德国最大的纺织机械工厂。它正在被振兴为一个可持续的工作社区，包括创业办公室和生产空间。整个开发项目的核心和中心是位于一个展览厅顶部的1500平方米的屋顶花园，整个社区可以全天候进入。人们可以在那里休息和吃午饭，也可以进行户外会议、讲座、活动和聚会。
Wirkbau Chemnitz is the former largest factory for textile machinery in Germany. It is in the process of being revitalized into a sustainable working community including start-up offices and spaces for production. The heart and center of the whole development is the 1500m2 roof garden on top of an exhibition hall which is accessible 24/7 to the whole community. People can take a break and have lunch there, but also perform outdoor meetings, lectures, events, and parties.
由于第二次世界大战中的轰炸，下面的单层建筑失去了上面的楼层。这一事实允许大树的额外负载，它们被安置在柱子的网格之上，将最初的故事重建为一个绿色大厅，并追溯到建筑的原始结构。
The one-story building underneath lost its upper story due to bombings in the second world war. This fact allows for the extra load of big trees, which are positioned on top of the columns grid, rebuilding the initial story as a green hall, and tracing the original structure of the building.
这些树在屋顶上保持了透明度，同时提供了对太阳的保护和对邻近建筑的看法。每棵树都经过精心挑选，来自不同的物种。它们是这个地方的独立角色，但在视觉上与附近的森林相连。
The trees maintain transparency on the roof level whilst offering protection from the sun and views of the adjacent buildings. Each tree was carefully selected and is from a different species. They are individual characters for this place but are visually connected to the forest nearby.
起伏的小路提供了不同的行走方式，并创造了不同的空间。有的种植了草来铺设，有的种植了多年生的花或灌木，有的则用水浸的路面来填充，其颜色是从周围的砖块中提取的，为家具或更大的团体提供空间。根据种植园的种类和需要，地面在上下移动。与不同高度的植物一起，形成一个流动的景观。
The undulating pattern of paths offers various walks and creates different pockets of space. Some are planted with grass to lay down, some with perennial flowers or bushes, and some are filled with water-bound pavement, which color is taken up from surrounding bricks, to offer space for furniture or bigger groups. The ground is moving up and down depending on the kind of plantation and its needs. Together with the different heights of plants, it forms a flowing landscape.
