Northern Greenhouse Home
Atrium House is a unique concept for a rural house in a northern climate with a large enclosed garden space at the center of the home. It’s intended to be a place where we can enjoy time in a warm outdoor environment even during the coldest days of the winter. The atrium has a large glass skylight with automatic ridge vent windows that open at the push of a button to release warmer air that naturally rises. It also creates natural airflow through the home by pulling cooler air in from the windows and up through the ridge vents. This house has a 3000 square foot living area and 1100 square foot planting area with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. It’s a place where you can grow most of the produce for everyone in the home all year while enjoying spacious rooms in the middle of a quiet forest.
