RFEM model of a single-story family house built into a vineyard slope, featuring a green roof that carries 1,050 kg/m² of earth and serves as a terrace garden. The load-bearing structure combines watertight concrete made with 55% recycled concrete aggregate and GFRP reinforcement instead of steel. This pairing of materials has little precedent in practice. The provided view highlights the structural configuration of this innovative residential project.
