CityscapesIn order to catch up withEurope, roof and sky gardensin Britain could be set to takeoff over the next few years tomake our homes and cities ashospitable to wildlife aspossible. At the same time,these new rooftop pastures areset to minimise energy costs,flooding, and the effects ofpollution. Germany alone hasover 80 million square metres

of planted roof gardens.Where space is becoming anissue in crowded cities, theconstruction of roof gardensand terraces could transformhow we treat our recreationalspace and give those living inthe city centres a morepleasant environment.

Chavasse Park at LiverpoolOne is one such example ofgreen space in a city centre,with advantages for city goers

and those living in thelandmark One Park West.Creating lawns on the roof,planting trees and creatingfeatures, is a traditional optionwhich is becoming popularwith developers; at City Viewin Liverpool city centre, theapartment blocks house treeson the roof. However, morecontemporary designs for roofgardens use integrated watermanagement systems to drain

rainwater, insulate and coolthe building, and can be verylow maintenance - as well asmore aesthetically interesting.

Living roofsRoofing has become a popularsubject among developers andhomeowners keen to build ina more sustainable fashion.The ‘Living Roof ’ networkwas launched in March by the writer Professor GermaineGreer who is president ofBuglife, in London toencourage developers andplanners of urban buildings to see the roofs of buildings asa habitat for birds, butterfliesand bees, and reverse thedecline of urban wildlife. The three-year project will see living roofs installed on anumber of corporate buildingsincluding the Transport forLondon headquarters, Ford’sat Dagenham, University ofEast London and LewishamTown Hall, and it’s hoped thatothers will follow in thecommercial and residentialmarkets.

Roofing optionsAn ‘extensive green roof ’ is the most low maintenanceoption, as it is generallyplanted with sedum anddesigned to look after itself for most of the year. This was the kind used by theNational Wildflower Centre in Court Hey Park, Knowsley,with seeds sown into therecycled textile matting undergravel. Celebrities have beenleading the way in sustainablebuilding; it was announced inthe press in January last yearthat Steven Gerrard’s gym andgames building at his propertyin Formby would use a livingsedum roof. The sedummatting, which comes fromthe sedum plant, grows well in poor soil and exposedconditions making it ideal for this purpose.

for leisure purposes andrequires ongoing maintenanceto keep at its best, and is usuallymore traditionally designedwith lawns, gardens and plantsthat wouldn’t be out of place in any garden. A ‘brown roof ’ can be createdusing the rubble left over fromthe building process and can be left to seed a wildflower ormeadow mix – looking prettyand adding variety to theoutside space.

Environmental benefitsThe advantages for theenvironment of a living roof are also plentiful. A living greenroof which will attract birds andwildlife to your garden and helpplants to pollinate is excellentfor the local eco-system. Theyalso absorb dust, pollutants,greenhouse gases and noise,making the city more hospitableto wildlife visitors. A living roofcan be installed on roofs with aslope of up to 45 degrees,including shed roofs,

summerhouses and even birdhouses, and blending abuilding’s appearance into thesurrounding environment.

Green roofs also have theadvantage of insulating thehome through the wintermonths and cooling theproperty in summer, reducingenergy costs. They also soak upwater during a heavy rainfalland release it more slowly,alleviating flooding andallowing rain to remain in thenatural water cycle and notimmediately travel into thesewer system.

AllotmentsDigging for Victory was asuccessful wartime campaign in the early 1940s that saw theBritish return to their gardensto grow their own crops, and in today’s busy world more and people are turning to local allotments or their ownvegetable patch to feel aconnection with the earth andwith where their food comes

from. Research conducted bythe Charities Aid Foundationfound that the currenteconomic climate has madepeople reassess their priorities,and to place less importance onmaterial possessions and moreon their families. They’re alsospending more time enjoyingsimpler pleasures, and this iswhere gardening comes into itsown. With supermarket pricesincreasing and organic producegenerating more and moreinterest, homeowners are usingtheir gardens to grow freshherbs and vegetables, andlooking for more space inallotments in their area. The‘grow your own campaign’backed by the National Trustaims to increase national self-sufficiency and reduce thereliance on expensive importsthat are bad for theenvironment, don’t taste asgood, and which see our greenspaces lose out. During the1940s, 1.5 million allotmentssupplied 10 per cent of what we eat, while today only 250,000allotments are in service. Thatsaid, more than 15.5 millionpeople in Britain are estimatedto be growing some of their ownfood as a result of the economicdownturn.

Jo Morfee, sales and marketingofficer at Homeshub (the onestop shop for affordablehousing) is a vegetarian. She grows her own food in an allotment near to where shelives in south Liverpool: “I’vealways been in love with theidea of home-grown foodbecause that’s my diet. It’s areally cheap hobby once you’vepaid your annual rent, which isminimal, and you only reallyneed to buy some seeds andcuttings. People are reallygenerous with sharing theircrops and ideas with you, andit’s a really rewardingexperience.” While there maybe a waiting list for anallotment, show yourenthusiasm by shopping at the allotment store for yourvegetables and think abouthelping out another gardener to pick up some tips.

How did you first get into property? I started at Jones & Chapman working part time, which washandy as I was studying property management and real estateat John Moores University so I already had a strong interestin the field. It was a good grounding experience, as I wasprobably quite raw when I started. I saw how business workedand was interested to know more.

How has your career progressed?I worked my way up to the role of sales negotiator there andstudied the CEMAP mortgage qualification, which gave me alot of confidence. It was at that point I heard about theposition at Keppie Massie Residential. I knew people withinthe organisation, which gave me an insight, so I knewapplying for the position was the right decision.

What can’t you live without?I hate being without my Blackberry as I use it for absolutelyeverything. It helps me keep in touch for work (obviously)but I’m also addicted to checking Facebook, the web andkeeping my social life in check.

How did you choose thisproperty?We heard about the Regendascheme from our friends whowere actually paying less fortheir mortgage than we werefor renting. As we’re both self-employed and didn’t have a lotof savings this was a reallygood option for us, and thehouse is really well built anddesigned with big rooms andan extended kitchen.

How is it laid out?Downstairs we have tworeception rooms leading off thehallway which we use fordifferent purposes. The wallsthroughout the house arewhite as we had it all re-plastered when we moved

//// TALENT IN THE CITY

Paul, what brought you to Liverpool this time?Our gig at Baby Blue. We play together as, andwhen, we can and try not to restrict ourselves to longtours. We also choose smallervenues where we know we can create a really goodatmosphere. The style ofmusic is Tex Mex, which I would describe as rock and roll music withaccordions and pedal steelguitar. It’s really happy musicso works best in small clubswhere people can really enjoythemselves and dance. What is your role in the band?Well, there are seven of us in the band and five of us sing. I probably sing in a straighter style then I do when I’m performingalone, so that our voices blend well.

How has your musical path led you here?If I had to pin down what - or who - it was that startedme on this journey I would say Ry Cooder. He inspired me to value a variety of stylesand the fusion of differentsounds. I spent about a decade following andabsorbing American Soul and incorporating it into my own music; then addedMexican singers to my group,which led to an interest in Mexican music. It hasgripped me.What reaction do you getfrom fans these days?It usually comes down towhether people get what I am now when they see meperform with Los Pacaminos.If they have preconceptionsfrom the ’80s about who I amand what I’m going to sing,then they may not enjoy the

Interview by Marya McCann

gig as much as if they arealready fans of Tex Mex - or if they are just prepared to giveit a go and listen. A gig atLiverpool’s Royal Court, yearsago, has always stood out in my mind. It used to be quitecommon for paint from theceiling of old theatres to flutterdown when the crowd gave youa warm (and loud) reaction.But on this occasion tiny flecksof silver paint fluttered downall the way through the show as the crowd danced; it createda really special atmosphere. What is the first song youcan remember performing as a little boy?Magic Moments (the PerryComo song) although my mum has a better recollection of it than I do. When I wasabout five I would sing it at the top of my voice every time I was on the bus with her.Apparently, I always got

a round of applause too. Who are you currentlylistening to?I love world music butspecifically South Americanbands. There is a Mexicanband called Kinky whichmakes great club music with a mixture of Mexican chants - instead of hip hop - andsampling. Naturally Seven is an American band I’ve also got on my iPod at themoment. Which singers inspiredyou?Otis Redding has been a veryspecial inspiration. His voicecreates a sound which reallyhas the power to touch me.And people still say to me that my voice most closelyresembles Paul Rogers from the band, Free. Maybe we absorb influencessubconsciously along the way and then reinterpret them.

Your Move 47

My son is obsessed with Star Wars. We are going to decorate hisroom in the Easter holidays. I want to simply paint the walls andthen use a border or a frieze of some sort featuring his favouritecharacters from Star Wars. I’m having problems finding a border ofwallpaper with Star Wars on! I thought it would be easy and nowI’ve promised this I’m really starting to panic! Could you help me?

I too have had a search and I agree, Star Wars border paper isreally hard to find. You may be lucky and find a couple of rolls oneBay, other than that, creating your own border may be the wayforward. Of course you would have to be careful about thecopyright of the images you use but other than that you and yourson could be really creative. There are many companies online whooffer a digital, bespoke wall coverings service. They could help inthe design of your border or frieze and offer different solutions. Ihope you have fun designing this and that your son gets his perfectroom for Easter.

Last year we spent an amazing holiday in Marrakech! We lovedwalking around the markets and enjoyed the atmosphere. I fell inlove with the large lanterns on display but at the time didn’tpurchase one as we had nowhere to put it. A year later we’vedecided to build a conservatory and now have the perfectspace for a lantern, but with no means of getting one. Is there anywhere in the UK that sells them?

I love Marrakech and would agree with you that thepunched metal lanterns and the lacy shadows they castare beautiful. The patterns especially look fantastic on thepolished tadelakt walls. The web sitewww.grahamandgreen.co.uk has just started selling largepunched metal lanterns. The lanterns are made from copper ornickel depending on the type of finish you require and woulddefinitely make a statement in your conservatory.

African Delights

We have just moved and really love our new house. The fireplacein the lounge is beautiful although the old mouldings are lookingreally worn. One has fallen off completely! We would like torestore it but do not know where we can purchase the mouldings,can you help?

If you are good at DIY, it’s possible that with patience you couldmake a replica of the moulding from the original moulding leftbehind on the fireplace. Alternatively you can buy mouldings offthe shelf. Companies such as www.buycarvings.com may be able tohelp. Do not be put off if the pieces are in a wood or a differentcolour, as once painted you will never be able to tell.

We’ve heard many times thatshowers use much less waterthan baths and are thereforebetter for the environment, butthis logic can be flawed. If yoursis a power shower, it only takesabout five minutes before you’llhave used the recommendedamount – an Eco Teardrop is atimer that will remind you whenenough’s enough. By installing a water metre, you could savemoney and water as you’ll onlybe paying for what you use.

Taking a shallow bath couldbe a guilt-free pleasure, if youuse less soap and bathingproduct than if you werelathering your whole body under the shower.

However, think about whereall that bath/shower water isgoing – down the plughole – andinstead collect it in buckets orjugs to re use elsewhere. (If youchoose to take a shower, put theplug in the bath or stand up abucket under the water flow.)This grey water can be used toflush the toilet, to rinse out thesink and, if not too soapy, towater the plants and clean outgarden tools and apparatus.

Reduce your use of soap andproducts, choose organic oneswhere possible, and recycle yourplastic bottles to make bathtimeas stress-free as possible for allconcerned.

For more ideas on savingwater see www.waterwise.org orfor information about installing a water meter seewww.unitedutilities.com.

Amber Wine Bar & Bistro 193-195 Rose Lane,Mossley Hill L18 5EAT: 0151 724 5169

Highlight: Stunning interior décor.

Chef’s recommendation: Ampleportions of everything – werecommend the specials’ board.

To book a table at Amber sevendays a week from 11am until 11pmtelephone 0151 724 5169. Amberwill soon be launching its outsidecatering arm for corporate events,weddings and birthdays.

“Clients who comein through ourdoors won’t needto walk out untilthey haveeverything theyneed.”

Amber Wine Bar and Bistro onRose Lane could be an exclusiveinteriors shop from the outside.The inside sparkles with crystalmirrors and chandeliers, whereSid Vance is already waitingwhen I join him for lunch. Sid,who has over 17 yearsexperience in estate agency, washeadhunted to lead and runHomelets, which won the YourMove award for best lettingsagency in 2008, and the morerecently launched Homesales,from the Allerton Road andWarrington branches.

With a background inproperty, hospitality andcorporate affairs around theworld, from Beverly Hills toNew York and Canada, Sidbrings more to the table thanthe average menu; fortunatelyfor us Amber offers an ampleselection of specials.

We choose the broccoli andpotato soup to start, whicharrives in a huge bowl with aboard of bread, and then thechef ’s recommendation; roastpork chop with peppercornsauce on a bed of mash, andfinished with mushrooms andbeef tomato. The sauce adds adelicious seasoning to the meal

without being overpowering,and the flavours in themushrooms and tomatoes aresubtle and complementary.

Sid’s first move at Homeletsand Homesales has been tobring the extended team ofproperty advisors in house:“Most agencies will offer thetelephone number to amortgage advisor or a solicitor,but we’re going a step furtherand bringing all our servicesunder one roof. We’re workingwith Worrall Power Solicitors,Brian Owens and Dave Forrestat Myriad Mortgage ServicesLtd and Fran from Furnishthat Room so that every aspectof selling, buying, renting orlettings a property is smoother.All of the necessary HIPs,IFAs, conveyancing, etc, can allbe organised here in one visit.

“Clients who come inthrough our doors won’t needto walk out until they haveeverything they need.”

The umbrella approach isone that works for bothlandlords and tenants: “My aimis to take the hassle out ofproperty. Our edge is that we’retreating our customers aspeople in a stress-free

environment.” Before joining Homelets

to manage the teams, which he and they are enjoyingimmensely, Sid took hisexpertise to Venmore for fiveyears, and then spent 10months at David Wilson, wherehe made 52 sales on newdevelopments and wasrecognised with numerousawards: “I don’t regretVenmore as it reintroduced meto city centre estate agency. I’veworked in property around theworld, and now I’m using mytalents in Liverpool again andit’s good to be able to say; I’mback.”

Over cappuccino, I ask Sidabout his passions and it’s clearthat his heart is in war tornWest Africa, with the familiesand children he’s adopted. Hebuilt an orphanage and pays forthe children's education: “Ivisit twice a year and I’ll ringthem every Saturday - if there’sanything they want I’ll wireover the money. I have somewonderful friends who’vedonated very generously.”

With that, it’s back to theHomelets office, where thingsare looking very bright indeed.
