Dutch Family Living in Experimental Urban Greenhouse Home
Living in a greenhouse can sound strange. At first! But when you see what this Dutch family achieved you will be convinced that living sustainably is an achievable reality. What started like an experiment is now an actual home. The design is made by students from Rotterdam University and has a total surface of 1,291 square feet. Comprised of 3 bedrooms the house has glass windows on the roof in order to be very efficient from an energy point of view.

And as every regular greenhouse, there is a large rooftop garden where the family can grow some produce to consume for their own. Check out the photos to get a better understanding of how everything looks in this amazing house.
