• Passive-Solar Greenhouse-Wrapped Nature House in Sweden
  Posted on January 26, 2020 | No Comments

  In 1974, architect Bengt Warne designed the prototype for a greenhouse home to deal with the cold winters in Sweden.

Inspired by these designs, a family has created a home near Stockholm integrated with the elements of earth, water, air, and fire.
