Exhibition Greenhouse

The exhibition greenhouse was designed to span the area between the residence and the garage and connect to both. Just steps from the kitchen, the greenhouse lengthened the growing season for cold-sensitive vegetables, and it was the perfect environment for citrus trees and C.S. Mott’s favorite flower, the Bird of Paradise.
