The entryway leads into the living room, and a low wall hides the staircase that leads to the lower level from view.

Designed by Belgium architectural studio OYO Architects, this 1,883-square-foot family residence in Maldegem, East Flanders, was conceived with a single green roof that meets the grass at ground level.

Different plants are grown on the green roof throughout the seasons.

Litigation over the title means that the Booth House could face being torn down—so its buyer will also be its rescuer.
