Ingenious Nature House Redefines the Meaning of Living Connected to Nature http://bit.ly/1Uiukmi
To keep up with average winter temperatures of 0°C (32°F) or below, Stockholm family employed a unique method of keeping the inside of their home warm, while lowering their heating bills and, at the same time, giving their home more exposure to the nature around it. They built a greenhouse around their house, a design better known as Naturhus, or Nature House.
Inspired by the creative genius of the late architect Bengt Warne, who designed the first Naturhus in the 1970’s, Charles Sacilotto took an old summer cottage in the Stockholm archipelago in Sweden and encased it within four millimeter glass.
“Living in a greenhouse gives architecture a fourth dimension, where time is represented by movements of naturally recycled endless flows of growth, sun, rain, wind and soil in plants, energy, air, water and earth. I call this NATURE-HOUSING.” ~ Bengt Warne
