The Greenhouse is a re-use of an older building that pushes the boundaries of zero carbon development. Estell Warren was appointed to deliver a green oasis courtyard at the heart of the scheme and to prepare ideas for the wider site.
The inner courtyard space introduces dramatic plant climbing structures – a modern greenhouse with sheltered communal sitting areas. Fruiting orchard trees and innovative combinations of native plant species provide sustenance and value for both residents and wildlife. The design creates a balance between strong visual effect and low carbon targets.
