This last example is a completely inaccessible green roof, composed almost like a Japanese rock garden. It is an aesthetic element, something to be looked at from the second floor. Next: Garden Inspiration From New York's New High Line High Design With Solar Panels 3 Fuss-Free Ways to Garden

Drought-tolerant succulents. Succulents are well suited for vegetating an extensive (shallow soil) living roof. High water-use, low water-demand plants, most succulents can take the punishing heat, blistering sun and shallow soils of the rooftop environment — often with no permanent irrigation and nearly no maintenance. Note the pattern of the plantings and the band of pebbles around the perimeter of this roof. The pebbles enhance the composition and trap any soil kicked up by driving rain, keeping the soil on the roof where it belongs.

The bottom line: There is no one-size-fits-all solution, but I was pleasantly surprised at the resource-saving choices on the market today. From recycled products to simply choosing a lighter color in a traditional roofing material, there is a green option to fit just about every budget.

Works with the environment while providing a food source.

This house combines: roof garden, glass walls, continuous ceiling from inside to patio, and deck. And the flat roof architecture i like.

Green roof.

I love the living roof. It reminds me of the California Academy of Sciences. This is almost my ideal home, the only thing that could make it better in my mind would be a more accessible view of the street (porch?) and a front yard suitable for children to play.

Pros: Roof overhangs are great ways to passively cool your home. When properly positioned, a deep roof overhang can shade your home from the sun, reducing energy and electricity costs. Cons: The cost of adding a roof overhang can be high, but if you are already planning changes to your home's structure or are building from scratch, it can be worth it to look into adding a deep overhang.

This is a completely inaccessible green roof, an aesthetic element, composed almost like a Japanese rock garden, meant to be admired from the second floor.

love this living roof, overhang, deck, and gravel on roof and yard. can't beat that drainage
