Family wraps homestead in greenhouse to warm up grow food all year
When MargitKristine Solibakke Klev, an architect working near the Norwegian town of Kongsberg, decided to design a home for her family, she enclosed the build in a commercial greenhouse kit to endure harsh winters at mild temperatures and to grow food all year thanks to a productive indoor garden. Inside the greenhouse home, the family grows figs, grapes, citrus, cherries, plums, and all sorts of veggies in the snow. The wooden home has a modern allure thanks to a kitchen that opens to the enclosed garden, allowing the children to play freely even when temperatures are freezing outside. On winter days of 5C (23F), the greenhouse has heated up above 20C (68F) the temperature when the glass roof opens up to cool things off allowing MargitKristine to garden barefoot in midwinter.
