It can be found nestled in a private garden and the glass structure shows off the tropical plants thriving inside of the greenhouse seamlessly. It measures 130 square meters and is meant to be a building for plants inspired by [modern greenhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-greenhouse-is-your-kitchen). Founder of the studio, Max Núñez speaks about the design project to Dezeen, noting "Having the plants at a lower level was a way to differentiate the horizon of these plants, which are strange to the rest of the park. It's a subtle way of changing the relation between the horizons of the tropical plants compared to the exterior flora as visitors move around the perimeter."
