Roof top extension of existing residential buildings is a topic around which have been driven controversies in recent decades, particularly in view of its architectural and design treatment of the existing architecture. The paper aims to show aspects of the roof top extensions other than this, especially the aspect of sustainability, then the aspect of social, economic and urban development, and within them to prove that the vertical extension of the existing residential buildings is a positive process, both in terms of creating new and in terms of preserving the existing housing.
