The following collection combines two prevalent architectural traditions: the gable and glazing. With the gable recalling archetypal cottages and other rural structures, and glass shells recalling urban skyscrapers and a fascination with city growth, the marriage of the two results in provocative, compelling designs. Featured among countryside and lush vegetation, each project plays with both regional form and contemporary detailing.<\/p>\n

Through the synthesis of these elements, the following buildings yield striking adaptations on greenhouse architecture. Sometimes aptly referred to as glasshouses, greenhouses are composed of transparent materials and created with specific temperature and light conditions in mind. While traditionally applied in order to render suitable conditions for plant life, the projects included in this collection leverage those same elements and tactics in order to create optimal environments for human life.<\/p>\n

Located in a region known for cold temperatures, the architects sought to create generous indoor spaces that were cozy, while still offering stunning open views. Protected by a large skin of glass, a transparent gable stretches above a heated pool and sauna.<\/p>\n
