Article source: Tailor Made arkitekter Uppgrenna Nature House A conference/cafe/event- building in Uppgränna, Sweden. An existing red barn was demolished and replaced by a modern building with ground floor partly submerged in the slope. The upper entrance level consists of an insulated building partly surrounded by an unheated greenhouse that extends over the entire roof. The greenhouse includes room for plant beds and shelter terraces with expansive views of Lake Vättern and has a climate comparable to that of Northern Italy.  Image Courtesy © Ulf Celander

All windows and doors fitted with shutters in a red wooden panel wall. This adds dynamics to the façade and reduces heat radiation when the house is not in use.

Large plant beds cleanse and take up nutrients in the wastewater, converting these into fruit and vegetables. The house does not require connection to the municipal sewage system. Living in a greenhouse encourages a sustainable and non-toxic lifestyle. It becomes very clear why you should not emit pollutants in the environment, as it returns to your own recycling system.

The houses consist of an insulated core – a living area, that is surrounded by a climate shell – a greenhouse. The greenhouse sets the inner core temperature to a warmer climate and provides sheltered \”outdoor space\” from the cold northern winter. It gives you the possibility to grow plants from warmer climate zones and preheats air for ventilation. The Nature House concept means low energy consumption, environmentally friendly building materials, solar cells and a local sewage recycling system with plant beds.

Houses that generate energy, instead of only consuming it and, ultimately, living spaces that induce reflection and learning thus influencing the behavior of inhabitants towards sustainability.
