Green House by the Greenhouse

HINSDALE, IL

The Green House by the Greenhouse is a modest-sized home nestled into its sloping site, allowing outdoor connections at multiple levels. Gardens supporting plants, water, and bird life are planned to surround the home, and a fireplace in the screened porch extends the season of outdoor enjoyment. As a Phius-certified home, its operational energy will be minimal, allowing on-site annual net zero with the modest solar array on the roof. Flexible-use spaces are planned in the basement, meeting changing family needs over the years. With the family-run Vern Goers Greenhouse to the north, this house becomes a positive part of the family story in Hinsdale.
