Brading Roman Villa is a historical attraction that houses remains of Roman mosaics, all of which had to be protected and covered to remain in situ during works
Reason for Green Roof
An effortless blend into the rural countryside was part of the brief. Stabilising the internal temperature was essential in order to mitigate the summer high temperatures which tend to cook-up and dry the remains of the Roman mosaics housed beneath, and conversely in winter to prevent the frost, both of which damage the historic relics.
