Swedish Couple Builds Greenhouse Around Home to Stay Warm and Grow Food All Year Long

Obviously, I do know a bit about this house. There's been quite a few reports on it in Swedish media. Answering some of the comments made...

To build it cost in terms of UK currency about £150 000, not more. Ventilation is controlled by what the owners call a "weather station" that adjusts the humidity to between 40 and 60% depending on the time of year. As the house is built from uninsulated wood, that also allows the wood to breathe, and reduces mould, etc to zero.

Its kept cool in summer by the fact that they have planted trees around the insides of the greenhouse. Not only do these provide shade, but also exotic fruits. These also help with the humidity. For those that arent aware, a similar system using trees is used in some high end car factories. Ferrari does for certain, I seen that, and I think Maclaren does the same.

This is also the second "eco" house of that the guy has designed and built. From what I understand, its developed from the first. I might add that he is an architect, so no doubt there will be a third soon.
