Located on the island of Sentosa in Singapore, the Meera House created by Guz Architects tries to make better the interaction between gardens and your house.

“The plots are not large and neighboring buildings are built close to the sides of each house. Rolling green rooftop gardens grow burgeoning grasses that expand the property’s lawns from each stacked floor. Thus The Guz Architect’s strategy was to build a solid wall to each side neighbor to provide privacy where possible, while creating a central light and stair well which would funnel the sea breeze through the center of the building.”

What a nice eco house!

Would you cover your car in green grass and drive it in the city or just put it in your garden?

Would I use this for my garden? Probably not…

David Gallaugher and other three Dalhousie architecture students built a grass-lined wheel as an alert for our society that we need more green spaces in our city. Thei idea is to take the green space with you wherever you go.

Of course is just a design and can’t be used in cities because it is not practical.
