Abstract
This master thesis explores the concept of living in a greenhouse as an alternative form of housing. Consideration is given to the aspects of integrating sustainable technologies and the benefits associated with this living environment. The constructive principle of the greenhouse creates a unique opportunity to connect nature with living space while providing sustainable and environmentally friendly living. My written exploration of the topic includes design history research of residential greenhouses looking back to the 1970s. This time period was chosen because the concept of ecological consciousness, as we understand it today, was coined during this period and has entailed far-reaching developments. The consideration of the development is important for the further analysis of residential greenhouses in the present because principles of a certain continuity become visible from it, which are still of conceptual importance today and let us imagine in possible futures.
