Beds between rooms: the family settled in a greenhouse house for three years
Students of the University of Rotterdam (Rotterdam University, Holland) built a giant greenhouse with a residential building inside the city. A family of four agreed to conduct an experiment and live in this facility for three years. The hosts will demonstrate how it will be possible to grow the necessary vegetables and fruits without leaving home.

In 2015, the Scholten family received an offer to move into an unusual house that looks more like a greenhouse. Helly Scholten, who is a florist-designer, was very enthusiastic about this idea and persuaded the family to conduct this experiment.
Private house with vertical gardens.
The building is made mainly of glass and natural wood. Several exterior walls are decorated with vertical gardens. Inside the house, plants are planted not only on the beds, but also on the roof and between the living rooms.
Until 2018, the family will record their actions regarding the convenience and expediency of arranging a greenhouse so close to home.
