urban greenhouse by daniel schipper from netherlands
designer's own words:
Living in the city means having to
cope with limited space and having
to do without a green environment.
Many city dwellers, however, would
love to take up gardening to satisfy
their botanical needs.
Greenhouses are essential growing
your own plants and, particularly,
vegetables. However, they
are cumbersome, heavy, not easy
to handle, and garden-bound.
I designed a light-weight, flexible,
modular greenhouse especially
suitable for small spaces like city
houses, balconies, roof terraces
or town gardens.
My folding greenhouse is a frameless
folding construction made of
different components of recyclable
plastic which can be folded flat or
expand when required.
