Pull your gaze away from the handsome Portland midcentury modern house and look up: Plants are growing on the roof.
The reimagined dwelling was one of the first in the city to install vegetation on top of a waterproof layer as an ecoroof to improve air, water and the planet.

The urban greenspaces also make life better for birds and insects, according to Portland’s Environmental Services.
