When Alison Trott purchased a vacant corner lot in the historic Cleveland-Holloway neighborhood in Durham, North Carolina, she wanted to use the space to construct her dream home. She wasn\u2019t sure exactly what she wanted, but she had several priorities in mind. \u201cWhen I built the house, I wanted to try and focus on sustainability as much as possible,\u201d says Trott. \u201cI wanted to try to focus on green building, and I wanted to try to utilize local resources as much as possible \u2014 local materials, local builders, local companies, and local craftsmen.\u201d<\/p>\n

She worked with a talented team of design and construction professionals to bring her vision to life, and the sustainable roof systems on the home became a crowning focus of the project.<\/p>\n

At some point in the design process, the architect mentioned the possibility of incorporating a garden roof, and Trott jumped at the idea. \u201cI said, \u2018I want that!\u2019\u201d Trott recalls. \u201cI was very excited about the idea, but I\u2019d only seen green roofs on large commercial projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lead Architect<\/h4>\n

Tina Govan, now principal of Somos Design<\/a>, located in Raleigh, North Carolina, hit it off with Alison Trott right away. The two worked together on the design for several years, inviting CUBE design + research<\/a>, an architecture firm in nearby Chapel Hill, to collaborate on the project.<\/p>\n

The goals included constructing a modern home that would blend in with the historic neighborhood. The house was also designed to be part of the natural landscape. A key priority was saving two large oak trees on the property. \u201cWe wrapped the house around the trees,\u201d notes Govan. \u201cThat way the house bends to nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

The key themes of the overall design are exemplified by the roof systems. The house features a metal gable roof with a balcony at one end, echoing historic homes in the area. The 950-square-foot garden roof was installed over the master wing of the house, and the roof of the carport was constructed from solar panels.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very green house,\u201d Govan notes. \u201cSolar panels over the carport take care of most of the energy needs of the home. The green roof replaces what was disturbed \u2014 the ground below \u2014 and brings it up. The green roof blends well with the landscape, and with it the house doesn\u2019t seem as big.\u201d<\/p>\n

The green roof is visible from many parts of the house, including the roof deck, which is separated from it by a glass railing. \u201cI love green roofs,\u201d says Govan. \u201cThey replace habitat and make building softer. It\u2019s alive. It\u2019s so much more dynamic and rich than any other type of hardscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Builder<\/h4>\n

Bob Wuopio is the owner of Form Design\/Build LLC<\/a>, headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina. The company specializes in one-of-a-kind, complex projects, so this custom house was right up its alley. \u201cWe love unique projects,\u201d Wuopio says. \u201cOur preference is to make everything \u2014 the doorknobs, the pulls, the lights, the cabinets. We try to fabricate everything. That\u2019s our niche.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Located on a corner lot in the historic Cleveland-Holloway neighborhood, the modern home was designed to preserve two large trees and wrap around a courtyard to provide privacy. Photo: David Solow.<\/p><\/div>\n

Numerous custom details throughout the house put the company to the test. For its relatively small footprint \u2014 3,400 square feet \u2014 the house has its fair share of different roofing systems. \u201cWe have almost every type of roof system on that project,\u201d says Wuopio. \u201cWe have a standing seam metal roof on the high gable. We have standing seam metal roof that becomes a metal wall. We have a built-up roof with a floating deck and a glass railing system. There is a green roof over a whole wing of the house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Getting the deck and green roof areas sloped perfectly was essential, and that begins with the substructure. \u201cGetting a roof with a slope of 1\/8 inch per foot right requires a pretty good framer,\u201d Wuopio notes.<\/p>\n

Form Design\/Build served as the general contractor on the project, and Wuopio was responsible for scheduling multiple trades at the site. One key concern was making sure that the low-slope roof system wouldn\u2019t be damaged after it was installed. \u201cYou don\u2019t want anyone poking holes in it,\u201d says Wuopio. \u201cWe spray foamed underneath the deck, so if you did have a small leak, you might not notice it for years, potentially.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wuopio knew the roof under the garden roof assembly was crucial. \u201cI knew we needed a bulletproof roof, so I called Jim Pickard. He knew exactly what we needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Roofing Contractor<\/h4>\n

James Pickard III is the owner and president of Pickard Roofing Company Inc.<\/a> in Durham, North Carolina. He represents the third generation of his family to run the business, which is more than 90 years old.<\/p>\n

Pickard Roofing handles all types of commercial and residential projects, including historical restoration work. Most of the company\u2019s projects are within 25 miles of the office, including this one, which was just two miles down the road.<\/p>\n

Crews at the company don\u2019t do as much hot-mop BUR work as they used to, but they still have that club in their bag for below-grade waterproofing projects and garden roof assemblies. For this green roof project, Pickard recommended a coal tar pitch roof system. \u201cWe use hot-mopped coal tar pitch in situations where the material is in constant contact with water because the pitch doesn\u2019t degrade,\u201d Pickard notes. \u201cYou don\u2019t want to have to take the dirt off of a garden roof and start looking for leaks. You have to do everything you can to make sure nothing can cause problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

That includes making sure the deck is secured with screws and not nails, which can back out and damage the roof assembly. Gravel stops should either be copper or stainless steel so they won\u2019t corrode. \u201cThe whole idea is permanence,\u201d Pickard says.<\/p>\n

The hot-mopped system manufactured by Durapax<\/a> consists of four plies of tar-coated fiberglass felt, which were set in four layers of coal tar pitch. A fifth layer of pitch was added as a top coat.<\/p>\n

Pickard Roofing also installed the metal roof system. Snap Lock panels were custom fabricated in the company\u2019s metal shop from 24-gauge Kynar-coated steel from Firestone Building Products<\/a> in a wine-red color chosen by the homeowner. A synthetic underlayment, Titanium PSU 30 from InterWrap<\/a>, was applied to the wooden deck before the panels were secured in place.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe great thing about the Snap Lock system is there is virtually no fastening through the face of the metal,\u201d Pickard says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe panels are secured with cleats and clips in the seams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snow guards from Berger Brothers were attached to the seams using non-penetrating screws. Half-round gutters were fabricated from the same metal as the roof and complemented with \u201crain chains\u201d that serve as downspouts.<\/p>\n

Many of the copper details and flashings were custom fabricated on site. \u201cOne of our strengths is in our flashing design,\u201d notes Pickard. \u201cThe company has a lot of soldering irons. We still use a lot of the old techniques.\u201d<\/p>\n

The roofing installations went smoothly. As Pickard Roofing completed the roofs on the home, crews from Southern Energy Management<\/a>, headquartered in Morrisville, North Carolina, constructed the carport roof from partially transparent solar panels.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone\u2019s priority was on doing the job right,\u201d Pickard says. \u201cIn this case, the emphasis was on the quality, not just the cost. The cost is important, don\u2019t get me wrong, but in this case the budget was increased if there was a product that could do the job better. Ultimately, you have to put the quality where it counts, and that\u2019s why this project worked out so well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Green Roof Installers<\/h4>\n

Landscape architect Kathryn Blatt Ancaya co-founded Living Roofs Inc.<\/a> in Asheville, North Carolina, along with her husband, Emilio Ancaya. The company handles all aspects of green roof and living wall projects, including design, installation and long-term maintenance. \u201cOur work ranges from small residential projects to large complex commercial and institutional projects \u2014 and of course, everything in between,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Living Roofs is a certified installer with garden roof system manufacturer Xero Flor America LLC<\/a>, which is headquartered in Durham. Clayton Rugh, the director of Xero Flor, contacted the Ancayas after Trott and Govan toured the company\u2019s own garden roof. They asked for help designing a version of the company\u2019s lightweight extensive roof system for the project. As Rugh notes, \u201cOne of the benefits of the Xero Flor green roof system is its adaptability to nearly any roof situation \u2014 load limits down to 10 pounds per square foot, dynamic slope changes between zero and 45 degrees, and compatibility with most commercial waterproofing, including TPO, PVC, modified bitumen and asphaltic BUR assemblies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe collaborated with the architect, Tina Govan, and Xero Flor to design an extensive pre-vegetated green roof with areas of deeper soil to support native grasses and perennials,\u201d Ancaya explains.<\/p>\n

The Living Roofs crew installed the Xero Flor XF300 green roof system with growing media depths ranging from 2.5 to 5 inches. After the root barrier was installed over the coal tar pitch roof, it was covered with a drain mat and filter fleece. The growing medium was then lifted into place using a telehandler.<\/p>\n

Most of the garden roof area was overlaid with pre-vegetated Xero Flor sedum mats. Plugs of herbaceous plants were inserted in the deeper areas. \u201cThe grasses we used were grown by Hoffman Nursery, a local grower, and we used perennials by North Creek Nursery,\u201d Ancaya notes.<\/p>\n

The sedum mats are an attractive option because they are fully covered when they are installed, notes Ancaya. \u201cIncorporating the areas of deeper soil also allowed us to create a more dramatic visual effect by contrasting the low-growing Xero Flor mats with taller and more textured plants,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

The green roof installation took less than eight hours over the course of two days. \u201cKate is the design arm of Living Roofs, and Emilio is the installation arm, and the two of them teamed up on this project to knock it out of the park,\u201d Rugh says.<\/p>\n

A Happy Home<\/h4>\n

Trott enjoyed watching the building process. \u201cI learned a ton,\u201d she says. \u201cI just love watching craftsmen who are passionate about what they do. I had fun out there!\u201d<\/p>\n

The home was completed in the spring of 2017, and Trott is thrilled with the result. \u201cIt\u2019s better than I even imagined it would be,\u201d she says. \u201cI love it, and my cats love it. In fact, I think they are pretty sure that I did all of this just to entertain them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The growth and changing color palette of the rooftop garden has been interesting to watch. \u201cThe green roof has been amazing,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s just been one year, but the green roof keeps getting lusher and lusher. Every feature is my favorite feature in the house, but the green roof \u2014 I love it. I really do.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, Trott has become something of a residential green roof\u00a0ambassador. \u201cI\u2019ve been spreading the word,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
