BUILDINGS

2. Green Roofs

3. Space management becomes the ideal concept, especially in the towns and
cities where every single piece of land is put into valuable use by local
administrations.

4. What is Green Roofing?
Green roofs are constructed in a
similar way to traditional roofs that
are last longer, better environment
and add value to visual appeal.

5. Benefits of Green Roofing
It reduces the air pollution and controls the green house effect.

6. The eco-friendly roofs are the best to comfortable habitat for
animals.

7. Green roofs effectively manage the storm water flow.

8. These are the best insulators to manage the heating and cooling
effects for houses.

9. Green Roof doubles the life of roof material.

of green roof technology is a small step to save our planet.

12. TYPE 1: LA MAISON VAGUE
(WAVE HOUSE)

13. • Wave House, was designed by Patrick Nadeau and
features a smorgasbord of plant varieties including
wild flowers, meadow grass, sedums and other
perennials. The house has a sweeping curve similar to
a sine wave which makes it appear more like a hill or
mound. This shape creates a seamless surface of
plants on the green roof but did mean that parts were
extremely steep and required special consideration for
drainage, water retention and soil erosion.

14. TYPE 2: MILL VALLEY CABINS – SUCCULENT
SEDUM ROOF GARDENS

16. The remarkable roofs of sedum definitely deserve
additional attention in this green roof collection.
There are a wide array of different species of succulent
sedums in this roof that have been arranged in a
banded pattern. This looks very carefully considered but
they are planted randomly over the roof.

17. TYPE 3: ECOSPACE – SUSTAINABLE, MODULAR
GARDEN STUDIOS
• Ecospace studios have a distinctive modern style
and make extensive use of cedar cladding, large
windows and mostly flat or mono-pitched
roofs. The use of flat roofs on many of their
garden studios also make it possible to grow a
living, mossy surface that camouflage and require
very little maintenance. However, the great thing
about their modular garden studios is that due to
their relatively small size, their height in
particular, many of them don’t require planning
permission if be used as an outbuilding to a pre
existing property

20. TYPE 4: ECO VILLA CONCEPTS IN FLAVOURS
ORCHARD, CHINA

21. • The Mobius Villa design is a figure 8 shaped structure
which was inspired by the Mobius Strip. This eco dwelling
features a living green roof as well as solar panels which
can provide more energy than the building would require.
The building contains two enclosed natural environments
within its loops: one plant based and one aquatic, to
accommodate ecological diversity as well as serving as
viewing spectacles for residents.
