SOLAR GREENHOUSES

SOLAR GREENHOUSE

The solar greenhouse was designed for an already existing house with the intent to improve the thermal villa running. The project, in fact, was not steered towards a common porch but towards a real solar greenhouse sized in its entirely to function as an active element in the building climate control.

The greenhouse is designed to capture the sun in winter, accumulate and return heat inside the building, while during the months in which sunshine is high this structure is equipped with movable screens and openings so that the excess heat can be readily removed.
