GRASS ROOTS OF FITTING IN

摘要

Mercia marina has begun construction on a large new energy saving building for Midland Chandlers that will have a striking 'living green 'roof of sedum 'grass'.rnAs well as helping to fit in with the surroundings, the 'grass roof will have excellent insulation properties and is expected to be very low-maintenance. The low-profile, wooden-walled building, due to be open by March 2010, will also have large glass windows facing the marina to reduce the amount of artificial light needed during daylight hours.
