The grass is a very effective way of linking to the site, isn´t it? Can you walk on the sod roof when it´s finished? Or does it need special paths made like the sedam mat type green roofs?

Yes, it was important for us to blend in with the site and this was even more effective by reusing the sod taken from the site (so the plant species would match). The roof can be walked on, but it is like any other ground, in winter it will be too soft to walk on but in summer it would be fine. The real problem if you want to walk on it is safety railings around the edges, which might destroy the aesthetic.
