Eco Factor: Greenhouse home made from sustainable materials.
A greenhouse is intended to provide a warm and cozy atmosphere for the plant kingdom. Designer Hiroshi Iguchi is taking the greenhouse concept farther with a greenhouse house. No, we didn’t make a typo by writing house twice, but the Camouflage House is just that. It’s a house inside a greenhouse. The house has been designed as a part of the Fifth World project, which aims to promote ecofriendly and sustainable architecture.
Made from natural materials that include wood for floors and traditional Japanese panels for compartments, this house protects not just plants and trees, but humans too from harsh weather conditions. Apart from plants, some trees too are integrated into the house, by leaving open spaces in between the ceiling to let trees thrive in the open.
The Dark Side:
To let sunlight pass through the ceiling and walls, something that is important for plants, the walls and ceilings are made from glass. This transparent exterior could soon become a problem.
