Dwelling in the Green

An engineered, prefab modern Method Home was literally ‘greened’ with the integration of several living roofs.

The living roofs were designed with the site in mind, wind and drought-tolerant hardy succulents performed well in this hot hillside location.

Flanking both sides of the second-story living quarters the living roofs are not only seen from the windows but can be encountered from the outdoor gather deck.
