The design of a low-rise residential building with an exploited green roof was studied. In order to improve the ecological condition and tourist attractiveness of the building in the city of Odessa, a project of eco-reconstruction of the "Rodokonaki" apartment building with the organization of a flat exploited green roof is proposed. The project involves a combined plan of an exploited roof with combined landscaping and landscaping, and can also be considered as a fifth facade. Using the example of the designed building, it was found that the steppe type of roof landscaping is the most promising for arid Ukrainian regions, in particular, the city of Odessa. It is proposed to place benches made of natural eco-material - wood on the exploited roof; small architectural forms (lamps, urns - also made of eco-wood). Bushes with a stone fence are planted around the perimeter of the roof. Stone paving with a fountain, green spaces and a small children's playground is designed on the territory of the house. The use of ecological finishing materials provides visual comfort and brings people closer to the natural environment. The use of green spaces on the roof ensures not only an increase in the standard of living of citizens, but also improves human health, makes the surrounding urban environment comfortable and close to natural conditions. Energy saving is achieved due to the increased thermal insulation properties of the green roof. Exploited roofs can be additional public spaces, sports areas and meeting places. The main advantages of this solution, structural features, calculated loads on the roof, as well as types of landscaping are analyzed. It has been proven that the principles and methods of "green roof" must be implemented in modern construction to improve the emotional state of residents, urban ecology, and tourism development.
