Horti Roof is a comprehensive rooftop garden proposed to be a model for eco-houses. It is thought to mimic the purifying functions of wetlands for sewage treatment and production of food.Although, it is my mother's home, due to its obvious social interest, the garden and other parts of the house are planned to be open for free exhibition and also be used as therapeutic space by professionals. The project includes::: the sewage and the rain water treatment;:: a closed system for the circulation of water and nutrients into an aquaponic scheme; :: the efficient exploitation of the sun's energy using a multilayer cultivation design;:: the high potential for insights due to its organic architecture conception that imitates the nature.The Horti Roof is meant to be a masterpiece and it is also well located at the border of a big avenue. Actually, it is already being seen by thousands of people passing through it each day. Therefore, there are high possibilities that the Horti Roof helps bringing attention for the green roof's market, boosting its growth in the future.Finally, to be honest, I am already bored of been building it alone.Let's build a green harmony together?
