I've was asked to write a couple of articles on living roofs for two magazines recently, Earth Building and Organic NZ.
It is always great to be able to promote how easy to build and beautiful living roofs can be in the environment. For the Organic NZ article I show-cased a retrofit of my own chook shed with a living roof (see blog link above to Violet Hill Farm post on the process of constructing the living roof).
I was recently in Queenstown and visited the Remarkables Primary School building which has a very large sedum and thyme covered living roof. You get a great view of it as you fly into Queenstown as it is directly under the flight path for the airport.
As these photos show the roof is looking great and has been designed to ensure students can use the roof space - a great example of maximising opportunities.
