Green & Sustainable Roof Design- A Durham Case Study

A recent Roofing Magazine article featured a Durham, North Carolina green home belonging to Alison Trott.  The home is notable for its extensive green and sustainable roof features.

For a relatively modest 3,400 sq footprint, the house has many different types of roof designs, including a standing seam metal roof on a high gable, a standing seam metal roof that becomes a metal wall, a built up roof with floating deck and a glass railing system.  Then, there is a full green roof over one wing of the house.

That green roof, from Xero Flor America (a Durham company and client of my Firm), was laid down over a hot-mop coal tar pitch roof by Asheville company Living Roof Inc.  Architect for the project was Tina Govan / Somos Design of Raleigh, together with CUBE design + research of Chapel Hill.  Check out the full article in Roofing Magazine’s April 2018 issue.
