Architecture: "Naturhus" Greenhouse Homes

A Naturhus (Nature House) is a sustainable, self-sufficient home enclosed within a glass greenhouse, designed to reduce energy consumption and manage water/waste internally. Pioneered in Sweden in the 1990s, this design (often using Tailor Made arkitekter designs) puts a traditional "core" house inside a larger glass shell, creating a Mediterranean-like climate to grow food, extend the growing season, and provide year-round outdoor living space, even in Scandinavian winters.
