Description: This home is inhabited by two horticultural therapists. They use the calming atmosphere that the plants create and the act of caring for them during their sessions, which are held on the ground floor. A greenhouse encases the home and aids in temperature regulation and ventilation. The internal walls vary in distance from the greenhouse, creating balconies and other unique spaces. A circulation core occupies the center of the home, with other rooms branching off from it. The roof space is accessible and features a smaller greenhouse structure for tropical plants. Other plants are organized throughout the home according to their needs and uses. This is a place where both plants and people can help each other grow in a shared environment.
Location: Kensington Market, Toronto, Ontario
