Until now, the green roof movement has been limited to
large-scale, professional endeavors and public buildings.
But homeowners everywhere are catching onto the benefits of
a green roof—water conservation, energy savings, and storm
water management. In Small Green Roofs authors Dunnett,
Gedge, Little, and Snodgrass profile ordinary homeowners who
scaled green roofs down to the domestic level. Small Green Roofs is the first book to focus on small-scale
and domestic green roofs. More than forty profiles of small
and domestic-scale projects of all shapes and sizes include
green roofs on sheds, garden offices, studios, garages,
houses, bicycle sheds, and other small structures, as well
as several community projects. For each project, details are
given for design, construction, and installation, as well as
how-to tips on how the roof was planted and cared for. For readers looking for inspiration when hiring a contractor
or taking the adventurous step of building their own, Small
Green Roofs provides the knowledge and encouragement to make
it possible.
