The Top 1000. The Grass Roofs of Norway. Norwegians have their own way of going green, and quite literally. For hundreds of years houses in Norway have been covered with turf. And they come in different varieties. Some are bright green and almost velvety. Others are golden and look like they’re growing wheat or oats. A number of turf roofs have flowers mixed in with the grass, and a few have small trees. The advantages of turf roofs (also called sod roofs) are many. Turf roofs in Norway are a tradition and you will see them everywhere. Every year, since 2000, an award is also given to the best green roof project in Scandinavia by the board of the Scandinavian Green Roof Association.
