Special--living in a greenhouse.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxbX87gxmXQ This one built by students lot of glitches does not look so nice either. But built of recycled materials on a strict budget. This one is the best: Commercial greenhouse around a summer house, and also its systems are much better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30ghnDOFbNQ This article has the best ideas of successful houses--incld "indoor" and outdoor encasing greenhouses. https://www.cbsnews.com/media/5-greenhouses-that-are-actually-homes/2/ My problem now is to enclose "art galleries" with controlled light to protect the artwork and lots of wall space. Also senior-friendly living. Maybe with a private cemetery garden on the grounds. If you are an artist, engineer or architect, let me know your ideas and provide a rough estimate for 2 small apartments, one studio, one 1 BR, one 2 BR, enclosed in a big commercial greenhouse or greenhouses with a small dip pool. In the past all my ideas came to be, and I hope this one will too. These included everything from leaving an oppressive system, to changing an oppressive system to educating myself and my children, to where and how I will live. There's also the problem of security and privacy if you live in a glass house--not just security from other homo sapiens and animals but also from things like hurricanes, jaguars and wild hogs. House #2 is in quite safe but very cold Stockholm. Also don't be "stupid" like the engineer who put electric heating under the floors of his house by a stream. Think passive heating systems and natural materials. The guide at Fallingwater told us that if built today, it would cost about 3.5m (and the rooms are very small). My mother and uncle designed and built her house with cantilever porch/upstairs veranda in Rangoon. She had yellow chrysanthemums in wood boxes flowing down the rails. km
