LIFE STYLE 2: Flowers, Plants & Architectures

Aesthetic, ecological, and providing a pleasant living environment, we seek increasingly to combine plants and architecture. Vegetated roofs or facades, the introduction of plants in our homes provides many benefits and these compositions may be very original.

The green roofs

It is not a novelty, the roofs of some Viking villages were already covered with vegetation. The technique involves placing a plant substrate on a flat roof or low slope. In addition to aesthetics, they provide many benefits as a good sound and heat insulation, and regulate rainwater.

The green walls

Walking through the streets of major cities, we discover more and more fronts teeming greenery, rooftops crowned by a forest of green escape ... These actions reflect the importance that nature takes recently in urban architecture. Most often these achievements are controlled by some cities that have made the plant one of their priorities. More original still, it is possible to create green walls for interior....
