La Serre: Zero-budget greenhouse made from reclaimed objects

Desh Raj SharmaFeb 1 2010

French architect Sebastien Ramirez has created a greenhouse out of firewood beams and reclaimed objects to satisfy his mother’s desire to have one in her garden. Initially, the designer wanted to use corrugated polycarbonate for his mini-project. However, since he didn’t have the requisite budget to do so, he utilized whatever he had at his disposal.
