Sedum living roof
Sedum living roof. A living roof insulates the building, reduces rainwater run-off and improves appearance and biodiversity. Sedum plants are used because they are drought tolerant, shallow rooting and require little maintenance. Light tubes and a skylight are also seen on the roof.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Sedum living roof, an architectural marvel that seamlessly blends nature and urban design. Located at Boscombe Library in Bournemouth, UK, this living roof not only enhances the building's appearance but also offers numerous environmental benefits. The sedum plants used in its construction are specifically chosen for their ability to withstand drought conditions and require minimal maintenance. The advantages of this green roof extend beyond aesthetics. Acting as insulation, it helps regulate the temperature inside the building while reducing rainwater runoff, thus contributing to sustainable water management practices. Moreover, this biodiverse rooftop oasis promotes biodiversity by providing a habitat for various flora and fauna species. In addition to the lush sedum coverings, other features catch our attention in this photograph. Light tubes and a skylight adorn the roof, allowing natural light to permeate into the library below. These innovative design elements not only reduce energy consumption but also create a pleasant ambiance for visitors. Taken during April when spring is in full bloom, this image captures the essence of renewal and growth. It serves as a reminder of how environmentally friendly solutions like living roofs can be integrated into modern architecture without compromising on functionality or style.
