I never thought of doing this
But as soon as I saw it, I thought it was genius, and now it is my life's goal to do this. Obviously, far away from little scrotes with stones.

He needs to do something with that roof. That feels like wasted space. You must be able to grow something up there.
Otherwise though, it actually seems like quite a good idea. Wonder if it's noisy when it rains?

I thought that too
I'd make a rooftop dining area or like you say, grow more plants. I reckon a dining area so it felt like you were having dinner in the clouds/stars.
I just really liked the idea of always being able to go outside to have dinner amongst tropical plants, even if it's raining. Especially if it's raining.
I reckon it would pair well with solar power and heat pumps. You could probably lower your electric and gas bills to practically zero. I'd also put in some way to make power from that heat gradient.

If you want to have dinner under glass surrounded by plants, it's probably easier and cheaper to just get a conservatory.

I'm not convinced it doesn't get too hot in summer and he's hidden 3 AC units behind a bush.
Otherwise it's awesome and I'm jealous.

To be fair, most of the houses like this I've seen have been in Norway
or other places where it gets damn cold in the winter, and have a barely passable summer. So you might have a point there.
But I was planning on building one pretty much on the Welsh border, so that also counts for the sort of place you don't want to experience the actual weather.
