8 Incredible Green Roofs

Green roofs have been around for centuries in Northern Scandanavia, but they’ve really only become a popular trend in the last few decades. Recognized now for their ability to reduce the urban heat island effect while also reducing heat loss and energy consumption in winter months - among many other benefits - green roofs are really taking off, all around the world. And these aren’t just your average pieces of sod plopped on top of a building, either. These roofs are meant to be seen, designed by the artistically inclined in newfound attempts to express and flex their creativity.

Here’s a roundup of eight great green roofs for you to admire:

Environmental Graffiti Will be Changing Dramatically Soon. Get a Sneak Preview By Signing Up Here.

Written by Chris Brewster

With the recent spate of natural disasters, it’s no wonder that canny designers have created homes able to withstand the elements. Earthquake-proof, hurricane-resistant, thermal efficiencies and solar power are just some of the selling points touted by Solalaya, the US distributor of Domespace Homes. Resembling something from outer space, the design and concept are unique.

Imagine if you will, a saucer-shaped domicile, replete with environmentally-friendly materials and technologies designed to inspire new heights in eco-consciousness, as well as invigorate the soul. Open spaces abound in the overall design. The warm and welcoming atmosphere incorporates a remote control rotating core allowing the house to always face the sun – nice on those cold winter nights.

Other design characteristics include: a central pillar and arches offering stability during a magnitude 8 earthquake, a dome shape to withstand winds up to 175 mph (Cat 5 hurricane) and a metal-free shell to reduce the Faraday Cage Effect.

One of these nifty dome homes could be yours for $200K to $850K, which is not bad considering the average cost of a house in the current financial climate. Two designs are offered – a rotating ‘Harmonique’ model, and a static ‘Eclosion’ model. If you’re not sure which one to go for, check out the Solalaya website.
