Grass roof homes are “sprouting” up in cities all across the earth.

I recently wrote a post about 4 Amazing Underground Dwellings, and ever since then I’ve been fascinated with homes that use natural building materials. I’m especially interested in grass roof homes because they not only look beautiful, but they’re also great for the surrounding environment. More green plants mean better air circulation, and a little good air never hurt anyone.
On my quest to find a few green homes I came across these 10 very cool international designs:
