Green House

are shining back at you, the

Greenhouse restaurant is shining

in the distance. Walking to the

light, you start to see its true

colors; an urban farm lit by grow

lights. In the heart of the Dhaka

city lies a restaurant with a story

to tell.

With the advent of rapid

commercialization and dying

green cover in urban areas, there

are very limited spaces that are

left with natural surroundings.

Greenhouse comes across as

such a space that creates a

setting in natural sur-roundings

that forms the basis of this

design. Greenhouse was aimed

to become a space lled with

natural plants and a natural

setting to provide its guests a

feel of freshness that translates

into food, juice, soft drinks, and

dessert.

The design evolved following the

theme of a terrace garden, which

was designed with plants all

around. The site is a small

built-up area with a large terrace

was thus utilized as a single area.

The entire area including the

terrace is treated as one, where

both spaces ow into each other.

The entire construction of the

place has been done using

eco-friendly materials, like scrap

packing wood, stone, sun-dried

clay bricks, and lament bulbs

that work as highlighters. All the

metal sections and metal

material used in the project have

been sourced from scrap thereby

consuming new and old material

on site.

The entire space is designed in

three distinct inter ow-ing areas

a large area is left in the front as

an entry foyer area planted with

a lot of plants and trees from

where the guest is guided to the

indoor area or the outdoor area.

Once inside you have a complete

view of the entire space and

space in between. The toilets

have been placed specially at

the end of the space so that the

guest has an opportunity to

roam around and discover the

entire restaurant.
