Attached Glasshouse with Potted Citrus

Attached to a modern residence, the white glasshouse serves as a greenhouse with wooden benches displaying potted citrus, connecting to flagstone paving and gravel paths.

Design notes

Modern design is about restraint: clean geometry, a tight material palette and details that disappear into the architecture. Look for long straight edges, large-format paving, flush transitions between inside and out, and planting kept architectural — hedges, grasses and one or two specimen trees.

What to look for

  • Path width and bed width — can you reach and can a wheelbarrow pass
  • Where the water is and how far the kitchen door is
  • Edges and structure that still look good in winter
