Green tiles create a tranquil pastoral style

Introduction

A green roof is a building technique with a relatively long history, and it belongs to the same category as today's roof gardens. Planting on the roof can, first, enhance the visual appeal of the building, and second, regulate the building's indoor temperature to a certain extent. The key to using this kind of roof is that the waterproofing must be done rigorously.

First, some rather fresh and delicate styles, and this type still makes up the majority.

Simply put, the building's roof is used as a planting bed. Generally, only grass or some ground-cover plants are grown. Traditional pitched-roof buildings become very beautiful after being treated this way, and the plants on the roof can also keep the interior warm in winter and cool in summer.

With different types of plants chosen and different planting methods, the final effect is, of course, not the same either.

You can also play with some compositional patterns on the roof.

The image above is a sculptural art building, and its practicality remains to be examined.

Besides buildings, green roofs are currently also widely used on garden pergolas.

Even the dog's shelter is not spared.

These roof planting beds can absolutely become a part of your garden that is worth tending carefully.

Next, let us look at some modern approaches. Of course, there are many modern green roof buildings, and due to limited space we cannot show them all one by one.

In fact, modern buildings and traditional practices are largely the same, only with a larger area and a strengthened scale effect.

I believe everyone is already familiar with this case, so we will not elaborate further.

Finally, let us take a look at Hobbiton in New Zealand. This is one of the filming locations for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and it is currently a national-level tourist attraction in New Zealand. We also shared some content about it a long time ago, and in this issue we will take another look.

The buildings and the terrain blend perfectly, respecting nature and achieving a fairy-tale realm of harmony between heaven and humanity.
