Located in Scandinavia, a series of green roof houses are making buildings blend seamlessly into the land, creating a look that's reminiscent of the hobbit's dwellings from The Lord of the Rings series, as said by Fubiz.
Given the modest structure of a great number of the homes in the area, the use of eco-friendly roofs allow them to work into the area with ease, making the living spaces barely interrupt the bright green sprawling landscape as little as possible.
The idea for the green roof houses was reportedly encouraged by the 'Scandinavian Green Roof Association.' Not only do the use of the green roofs make the buildings look more appealing, it also allows those who install them to save on costs with heating and air conditioning.
