A living roof log cabin in Sweden...

 
   
     
 


This is a bit of Swedish escapism. It's one of six cabins by Urnatur an eco-hotel by Lake Vattern. It's marketed as an escape from the city, which makes you wonder, why not just live like this in the first place. It has a very good 'Connection to the Earth', pattern No.168 from A Pattern Language. The moisture barrier is traditionally made using birch bark. A green roof like this will last about 40 to 50 years.
