This thing might be an inconvenient for those who want to relax on a patio, pick their home-grown herbs or have an outside dinner. Luckily there are a few unusual ways to have your own “back yard” on the top of your apartment building.

Their new place offer them the possibility to watch the sun going down to harvest their own vegetable and fresh herbs while spending time with their friends, all that in the heart of the city. They make their own compost and use ingenious irrigation systems for their plants to grow healthy on top of a building, but I think is worth all the effort. Don’t you?
