For starters, I would simply put a thick absorbent cord in the water (one end weighed down with a stone). The other end goes into the drain hole. The cord absorbs the water to the outlet and lets it drip in… at least in theory… wzbw.

I don't know anything about the construction. There is only the one drain plus the emergency drain next to it.
Without greenery. Oh, I hadn’t even noticed the air bubbles :\
I don’t know if or how the slope is planned. I don’t see anything about it in the section. To put in a meter stick I’d have to crawl up there…uh oh… I’m somehow hesitant about that.
At the front under the flat roofs there are windows, on the side where the drain is there are none.
Sounds good :) Could you possibly sprinkle a bit of sand or something on it in an emergency so that the water is absorbed and doesn’t keep trying to find a way down into the house?

Thank you all very much

Don't worry, the roof should hold you. Otherwise, you'll have completely different problems in the first real winter ;) Ask the architect or the person who did the construction planning about the slope.

I would definitely and urgently reconsider that. Without greenery, UV will be your biggest enemy... you can also do it yourself, it’s not rocket science and it will help you tremendously.

Greening is great, all done by myself. Before: After:

Hm... how does the warranty on the roof work if I plant greenery on it myself? If water comes through after 3 years due to a construction defect, they'll just give me the cold shoulder :rolleyes:
