Other than the balcony garden! The trend towards newer and more green - literally! - Is to cultivate a field directly above the roof of the house. Classic picture postcard from Northern Europe (think of the houses of the Faroe Islands, for example), the green carpet over our heads are revealing interesting features for green building and who cares about the environment, and technology was born in Germany over 30 years ago is being developed across Europe.
Their performance, in fact, seem better than those of a normal roof, the roof in fact grass absorbs up to 30% of rainfall (which would otherwise end up in drainage channels), has a low environmental impact because it pollutes little and reduces the global warming, it absorbs the sun's harmful rays and carbon dioxide and is a natural habitat for birds.
And it is, in all honesty, much more pleasant than some roofs that we have to endure in the city. The extra touch? Put flowers in the rooms switches, such as the Growth Plate designed by Andrew Harmon School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan. Touch and care becomes a pleasure, turn off the light before you leave a room too.
And the world is grateful.
