1. The Green House - The New Delft Water Walks
Heat Stress: The 4000 plants on the facade cool the house and stimulate bio-diversity in the city.
The Green House is located in the Graaf Floriskade street. It is not a ‘greenhouse’ for growing vegetables or flowers, but it is literally a green house! Over 4000 plants are integrated into the front of the house and a special irrigation system provides water and fertilizer. The plants help keep the house cool in summer, they purify the air locally and they attract many beneficial insects. The house is fully electric and with the solar panels on the roof, it is energy-neutral.
