Final Design
This greenhouse is intended to be a cohesive community experience. This was achieved by creating a structure that is easily accessible and visible to passersby through its open spaces and large dome-shaped greenhouse; experimenting with boundaries between the interior and exterior nature. The primary design intention is for the occupants of the classroom to be able to see the greenhouse and the surrounding environment through large connecting windows and easy linear circulation throughout the building.
Main Goals
This semester was focused on the design for a greenhouse for CU Boulder’s East Campus. Within this design project we were to incorporate an 800 square foot classroom, greenhouse, and multi-use outdoor space.
