Living inside a greenhouse allows for the growth and harvesting of fruits and vegetables, as well as the ability to open the greenhouse during the day for pollinators like bees and butterflies to enter. However, there are challenges in turning a greenhouse into a home, such as temperature control, privacy concerns, and the need for a geodesic dome with an actual house inside.
Natur houses, which are homes within or built alongside a greenhouse, incorporate natural elements such as rain and cold. A couple from Stockholm, Sweden, has taken this one step further by enclosing a residential greenhouse. Dutch stylist Helly Scholten moved into an experimental sustainable house designed by Rotterdam University, called “Naturhus”.
Greenhouse living is becoming more popular among the modern population due to its benefits, including humidity control, insulation for existing structures, and the ability to create a sustainable and comfortable dwelling. For those seeking a temporary, affordable, all-season, and comfortable dwelling, building a greenhouse with a tent inside can be a viable option.
Private homes inside a greenhouse that are lived in full-time are still fairly rare in the world. One example is placing a large greenhouse over a trailer to extend the growing season and create a micro climate to help reduce high heating bills. In summary, living inside a greenhouse is a practical and sustainable way to create a comfortable and sustainable living environment.
