I'm really just looking for an excuse to live in a Hobbit house! The roofs in the slideshow (link below) are amazing, especially the Beijing Capital International Airport. Sustainability is no longer just a trend, a buzz word or even a preference, when it comes to architecture and design. It's the standard. It's vital. And this "greening" of cities continues to take new, exciting forms, as well as adopt old ones. Consider green or "living" roofs. Forward-thinking Germany (where reportedly 10% of roofs are green) led the pack in the 1960s, and the trend spread throughout Europe. And why wouldn't it, when you think of the advantages? Lower heating and cooling costs, the ability to pull pollution from the air, and increased real estate values and the creation of intimate spaces in the environment are just a few. And, well, what's more aesthetically pleasing--a concrete expanse or a lush landscape? Green roofs can be minimalist, dramatic, landscaped or wild. Here's a link to the article and slideshow: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eva-maddox/top-10-green-roofs_b_787715.html#s190430 Here's a few others: Toronto Australia Japan Why are green roofs such a great idea? First, they help to reduce roof stormwater runoff. In some cases, this can help reduce the size of stormwater pipes, and the amount of stormwater that needs to be treated by municipal water treatment. In a light rainfall, a building with a vegetated roof can have no stormwater runoff at all. Green roofs also protect the roof membrane from sunlight, which breaks down the roofing material. Having even a couple inches of soil helps to greatly extend the life of the roof, and a longer lifespan means less material ends up in landfills from re-roofing buildings after the membranes have failed. Green roofs keep the roof cooler, which helps to reduce the heat-island effect, which contributes to cities being hotter than the surrounding countryside. This can be beneficial to the building in reducing its summertime cooling load. A green roof is also a source of oxygen and provides a habitat for some birds. Birds and insects can find homes much more readily in the living environment of a green roof, where an ordinary roof is nearly barren. And yes, it's even possible to graze goats. http://green.yahoo.com/blog/ecogeek/26/green-roofs-an-introduction-with-pretty-pictures.html

My inspiration photo shows a house with a metal roof often found down here in Texas. I really like how these look and they come in a variety of colors. Near my old job in Irving there was a white building with a blue roof. Very appealing visually. Here's a link so you can see more of the inspiration house. Love it. Contemporary Forest House. Can you see the ridges and lines? I've done this kind of roof on my Beach Bungalow and so I knew exactly what I needed for it. Lots of thin strips of wood. 1/8th by 1/16th to be precise. They're so thin they bend easily. And that's helpful for a curved roof. You can see how well it worked on my Bungalow All aged and everything. Looks pretty good I think. But I wanted a more metallic gleam to the roof. So I got some metallic chocolate brown paint. I didn't like how glittery it was though. See? Almost sparkly. I do not want and Edward Cullen roof. No. So thus began the process of aging and de-sparkling the roof. Black metallic and espresso brown paint diluted with water and dripped/brushed onto the roof. Using the water makes it gather and run in realistic ways, kind of like real weather would beat at the roof. It was raining and icky for the last couple of days so I could have let the actual weather do the work for me but even I'm not crazy enough to try that. A bit better right? Then I let it dry and added some trim to the front and back, and did a bit more aging. Still a bit of a gleam but not too bad. The last bit of trim had to be added and I'm waiting on the glue to dry. Slowly but surely, it's coming together. I did find a picture of my windows for the master bedroom, I knew I had one. Just forgot to upload it. Absent-minded? Me? Naw... Here we are. I can't wait to put the white stucco onto the wood. The contrast'll be awesome. I also, while waiting for the roof to dry in between coats of paint and gluing, got the platform bed stained and varnished. I'm pretty pleased with it. Here's another angle. Not perfect, but pretty good for my first attempt. And that's pretty much it folks. I have some more painting to do tonight for that last bit of wood trim, and then its full speed ahead on the roof/garden/patio. I'm looking into making some furniture for that area since I only have a couple of pieces. But it should be fun. The only issue? The area is rather...exposed... to cat inspections. Cats who have a history of stealing my flowers and electrical tape. So we'll see how this goes.
