Location: Avondale, N.S.
Project: Personal Construction
Typology: Greenhouse
Completed: Fall 2023
I designed this structure for my mother, who needed a greenhouse built on a budget. The structure repurposes my unused childhood playground, incorporating its frame and timbers directly into the new structure. All materials were sourced from within a 50km radius; rough sawn lumber from a local mill, upcycled windows reclaimed from local sellers and repurposed polycarbonate roofing. In 2023, we built the greenhouse at my home in Nova Scotia and kept construction costs remarkably low.
