Greenhouse and garden space

–

A Small Greenhouse is composed of walls of reclaimed wood, windows, and doors; it is completed with a clear, single-pitched roof volume. This roof is assembled from an array of wood trusses. Its shape and orientation are designed to capture the southern light on its peak end through a clerestory and provide cover on its tapering side.

A simple form to create a sheltered space, an armature for growing and enjoying plants, collaged from fragments.
