Take a Break, Live Your Roof

Living Roof interior.jpgHave you ever walked on your roof, for the very pleasure of doing so? Have you ever dreamed of living up there when you were a kid?

The Living Roof appears to be made exactly for that purpose: it is a refuge to recover, plan excursions into the city, or simply stare into the stars.

Clean, minimal interiors allow for concentration and thought, but the real wonders are eco-friendly. Based on the assumption that the contemporary citizen seeks mobility, but does not want to drain the environment, NAU designed Living Roof. Astonishingly, this small housing unit produces more energy than it consumes.

All the functions of daily life are condensed in a compact and self-sustaining capsule (it measures only 8.5 metres), which is ready to be airlifted from your rooftop. The beautiful twist of the windows gives you the chance to see both the sky or the street below. Real life or sci-fi, it is worth dreaming of.

Read more and be fascinated.
