Greenhouse is a 26 m² (280 ft²) structure designed by COA Arquitectura in Jalisco, Mexico. The project, led by Francisco Gutiérrez Peregrina, integrates a symmetrical design with exposed concrete beds, a reticular metal frame, and metal and glass panels to create a space that promotes vegetable growth while harmonizing with nature.

Upon stepping into this symmetrically arranged space, one finds a table positioned on one side, complemented by a shelf designated for germination purposes on the opposite side.

The greenhouse’s gravel floor is defined by exposed concrete beds set upon a gravel substrate, supporting plant growth. These beds are encapsulated within a reticular metal framework, topped with an assembly of metal and glass panels that enclose the space.

This greenhouse transcends its functional role as a mere site for attaining ideal conditions for vegetable cultivation.

It embodies a cohesive system composed of three fundamental materials, forming a prototype dwelling that not only resonates with the natural environment but also actively contributes to its preservation.

This structure is envisioned as a shelter, a nurturing space for growth and observation, a place to consciously mark the passage of time, and an area for harvesting the fruits of one’s labor.
