This beautifully illustrated volume celebrates thirty-two innovative homes from around the world that transform rooftops into lush, living landscapes. From Tokyo to the Hamptons, São Paulo to Barcelona, these houses turn roofs into gardens, blurring the lines between architecture and nature.
With rich historical context and striking contemporary examples, each project reflects a commitment to sustainability, using green roofs to reduce heat, manage water, improve air quality, and support biodiversity. These homes demonstrate how thoughtful design enhances both the environment and the human experience. Visionary architects—from Studio Arthur Casas to Guz Architects—demonstrate how green design elevates aesthetics and environmental consciousness.
This volume is a vibrant tribute to homes that don’t just sit on the earth—they rise from it, seamlessly blending architecture and nature. Ideal for architects, designers, homeowners, and sustainable enthusiasts seeking inspiration on innovative green living and eco-friendly home design.
