Living Green Roofs

I not only have a passion for interior design and eco-friendly furnishings, but I also love architecture, especial when combined with green, sustainable building practices. One aspect of green building that fascinates me is Living Green Roofs - they offer great benefits for urban environments and the people who live in them.

• Planting beds provide insulation and protection for the building's roof.
• Vegetation naturally cleans the air.
• Covering the roof with plants helps prevent climate change (traditional dark roofs cause heat island effect making the area hotter).
• Living roofs create micro climates for birds and insects.
• Gardens provide beauty and additional areas of leisure.
