Ever wanted to live in a greenhouse? Swedish architect Bengt Warne was ahead of the curve when he started designing the Naturhus (or Nature House) way back in 1976 as the concept is really starting to catch on. Originally intended to extend the summer growing season farther into the Scandinavian fall and winter, the “house within a greenhouse” concept works well for eco-living considering it not only helps the family living inside to grow more of their own food but it additionally reduces energy use.
