Yes, it is possible to incorporate a living roof or vertical garden on the exterior of a dome house. Depending on the design and structural integrity of the dome, you can install a living roof, also known as a green roof, which involves adding layers of soil and vegetation onto the roof surface. This can provide numerous benefits such as insulation, stormwater management, and energy efficiency.
For a vertical garden, you can attach planters or install a modular green wall system on the exterior walls of the dome. These systems allow plants to grow vertically, creating a lush and green aesthetic. Vertical gardens offer additional benefits such as improving air quality, reducing noise, and providing a natural habitat for beneficial insects.
However, before incorporating a living roof or vertical garden, it is essential to consult with an architect, engineer, or construction professional to ensure that the dome structure can support the added weight of the vegetation and to consider factors like waterproofing, drainage, and maintenance requirements.
