# Greenhouse-Topped Residences Moe Architecten Adds a Greenhouse on Top of the Wooden House By Amy Duong | Published 2024-09-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-house-1 References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2024/09/15/moke-architecten-wooden-house-muiden/)  Local design studio Moke Architecten has created the Wooden House with a unique component at the very top in collaboration with landscape firm LA4Sale. The team tops the home with a greenhouse framed by a wooden pergola in a new residential area in Muiden, the Netherlands. The clients were looking for a balance of captivating views of the landscape and enough privacy. The studio explains, "Wood is a central theme in the home, reflected in all places. The laminated larch trusses, the exterior finish of frake, the interior finish of poplar and the Douglas fir floors provide a soft and natural ambience. The concrete wall in the middle of the core of the house also provides a natural appearance, the pattern of the horizontal wooden slatted formwork plays with the grazing light that falls along the floating steel staircase from above the greenhouse."
