I like the idea of green roofs but too often the results are a bit... worthy. How to make a green roof that doesn't trumpet its own righteousness?
Maybe a face:
Maybe SCIENCE
Maybe tropical
But we just have moss.

I’ve been watching Grand Designs Australia (which I recommend over the British edition, which I find unwatchable) and the last two have featured interesting approaches with green roofs. One is essentially a terrace house with the garden on top and a green wall because there was nowhere else to put it [1]. The other has a huge garden on top of a concrete ceiling floating above their main living space [2].
