Discover extraordinary homes that blur the line between architecture and nature, where living rooftops elevate beauty, sustainability, and connection to the earth.

From Tokyo to the Hamptons, these houses blend architecture and nature to redefine sustainability. With rich historical context and striking contemporary examples, the book explores how green roofs cool homes, nurture biodiversity, and heal landscapes.
