39 Sanibel St. home to the neighborhood’s only living roof

39 Sanibel St., built by Southern Structures, Inc., is a beautiful new home in I’On that, thanks to its rooftop garden, is helping improve I’On’s environment!

Living roofs, as you may have heard, offer many benefits to the buildings, neighborhoods, and cities in which they are placed; Atlanta, for example, has recently seen an increase in green roofs on city and commercial buildings to combat the urban heat effect, which is especially distinct there as a result of the city’s extensive sprawl. Living roofs, or green roofs, can also capture rainwater, reduce runoff, produce oxygen and trap carbon dioxide, increase a home’s insulation (thereby decreasing its’ energy consumption), and lengthen a roof’s lifespan. Not to mention, of course, that they can make an excellent resting point for tired migrating birds!
