Toronto designer creates new greenhouse that could start popping up in city backyards Toronto Greenhouse

Toronto homes are not known for having sprawling backyards, or enough land to plant and harvest vegetables and fruits.

It was created for a pair of longtime customers, who wanted to reclaim the space of an old lap pool in their Chinatown backyard with a greenhouse of some sort. "The square footage of the plan is 88 square feet and the counter height is 130 feet, which slinks below the building code," said Forrest. "The spacing of the ribs leverages off-the-shelf sheet dimensions, eliminating the need to perform wasteful cuts. And the form, which bows out at counter-height, delivers the clients valuable storage space as the shelves climb and brace the structure," reads a press release.'s philosophy is to support local artisans and makers, with every part of the greenhouse crafted within 150 kilometres of its Sterling Road studio.

It was installed just prior to last year's winter and Forrest has been visiting the structure to make minor adjustments for optimal performance - he says with one more visit the structure will be"pretty darn good."

$80k to build 88 square feet and was tweaked throughout the winter for performance issues... is aimed at mid-to-upper market... 'we're not aiming to be elitest...' Yeah, way to bury the lead, blogTO 🫤

'$80,000, hoping to take it as low as $20,000'. 🤣😆🙃
