THE RECYCLED GREENHOUSE
-About the Workcamp
A Greenhouse (G.H.) made out with wasted materials collected and renovated from the previous volunteers and with the will of the owner to create a place where we collect and exchange materials to lengthen the life cycle of what we call too soon waste!
Here you can check out the project!
The main material chosen for the G.H. are the old wooden windows used for the glazed part on the south facade and sides of the structure. The main use of the little (3×6,5 m) rectangular building will be to cultivate and grow crops, bloom seeds and keep an alive garden in every season with the concept of year-round G.H.
After that the G.H. will be a space of comfort for work and chill during the winter period, an indoor space feels as a real outdoor winter garden that might be upgraded to heat other unit, as for example an office, with the boost of the G.H. effect and the addition of a thermal mass wall to strengthen the efficiency of the climate during the cold season.

– About the life
We will live in a community which means that we will work, sleep, cook, eat and enjoy together. The fundamental element is to have the ‘good mood’ and laugh all together! Each person will have her/his own turn to cook for the others and share the joy with the team. The ingredients and the necessary equipments will be provided by the organization. Don’t worry if you are terrified of cooking, we’ll be there to help each other! We will be many people from different countries, so; we will be learning different cultural practices, languages from each other and enjoy our time as a big international family.
