Built for durability, longevity,
low maintenance, and ease
The Solig Dag Greenhouse is a self-sufficient design rooted in a modern approach while incorporating sustainable features. The design is simple, industrial, crafted, new & fresh with roots to historic, vernacular design. This glass house has soul and careful restraint with the end goal of celebrating nature. Constructed from durable, pared-down materials like concrete, heavy-duty aluminum, glass, and a custom-crafted accent-painted door, this greenhouse is designed for year-round functionality. A concrete stem wall aids in heat retention during the winter, while integrated venting, a cooling fan, and interior shade accessories help regulate the temperature in the summer. Inside, a built-in counter with a sink and storage provides functional workspace.
The prototype has been designed as an 8x16 space to avoid the need for permits; however, both the size and height are flexible to accommodate different requirements and preferences.
