1- Økosamfundet Dyssekilde, Denmark

This is one of 74 ecological houses located in Økosamfundet Dyssekilde village, a sustainable community experiment started in the 1990s and aiming to spiritual growth and a lifestyle respectful of the planet. The 118 inhabitants are mostly vegetarian and their main values are tolerance, respect, social interactions and ecology. Just as many other houses, it was built using recycled and eco-friendly materials.

4- Bauen, Paraguay

Located in Paraguay, this building has been designed to have a very low environmental impact. This is why it is mostly underground and naturally isolated. Among the building materials, wood and stone stand out, as well as grass on the roofs, and they contribute to reproduce a real, but more technogically advanced, Hobbit house.

5- Iceland and Norway

Last, but not the least, green roof houses in Norway and Iceland are worth mentioning. Though this architectural “fashion” became globally known in 1960s, in Northern Europe it represents an ancient (and cheap) tradition for insulating buildings.
