Slope Green Roof Homes that Blend into the Landscape
Sloping green roofs not only insulate and manage rainwater but also let homes disappear into their surroundings. Camouflaged by grass and moss, these designs hide within nature, merging architecture with the landscape.
Green Roof House by Snegiri Architects Blends Into the Forest Slope
Russian studio Snegiri Architects designed HillHouse with a sloping green roof that extends down to the ground, merging the home with its wooded surroundings. Planted with stonecrop and wild camomile, the roof not only integrates the building into the landscape but also improves insulation and energy efficiency.
Native American Pit House
Austin-based Bercy Chen Studio designed Edgeland House on a former brownfield, embedding it into the landscape with a green roof and earth-sheltered structure. Inspired by traditional Native American pit houses, the design uses the earth’s thermal mass for energy efficiency while blending into the natural surroundings. The roof is planted with native grasses, turning the site of industrial scars into a living, restorative habitat.
Large Sloped Green Roof
The House Behind the Roof by Superhelix Studio features a vast sloping green roof that blends into the surrounding fields. Oversized in scale, it conceals part of the home, extends to shelter outdoor areas, and reveals a geometric timber underside.
