Just on of the cabins, houses I spotted as we drove in North Norway, I really liked that classic sod roof. My camera was always pointing at them if I noticed them.

Looks lovely but the very strict Australian building laws would not allow such . . .
I would think there are eco roof there too…
Perfect. Fabulous insulation against both cold and heat too.
Yes they were onto something back in the days
Hmmm, although a lovely thought to grow a garden there, I can only imagine what is going on UNDER that roof and inside the cabin???
Sod roofs (or turf roofs) are traditional Scandinavian green roofs. Built on birch bark waterproofing over timber boards, they provide excellent natural insulation, temperature regulation, and structural weight that stabilizes log walls. Though once a staple of rural life, they now blend history with eco-friendly design.
Clever eco-friendly way of air-conditioning! Nice capture, Ritva. Thanks for sharing with Monday Window.
Thanks PR
