Mound houses have emerged on the basis of new building materials as a special building form of ecological building. Mound houses are in principle a special form of grass roof houses. It usually has an intensive greening of the building roof and the roof has a direct transition to the garden ground. The artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser was inspired by the ideas of mound houses and transferred the concept to multi-storey housing (https://siedlungen.eu/planungsbuero/hundertwasser).
