Estufa Fría del Parque Juan Carlos I, Madrid, Botanical greenhouse in Juan Carlos I Park, Madrid, Spain.
The Estufa Fría is a greenhouse in Parque Juan Carlos I built partially underground with concrete and glass construction. The structure houses numerous plant collections in separate areas that recreate different botanical environments.
The greenhouse opened in 2008 on a site that had been transformed during earlier urban development of the area. This location change reflected the park's evolution and expansion of its botanical facilities.
The name refers to the cool temperature maintained inside through its design. Visitors encounter a collection of plants from different climates arranged in garden spaces inspired by various horticultural traditions.
The site is easily accessible on foot through the park with wide, level paths leading to the entrance. Visitors should bring a light jacket since the interior maintains a cool temperature year-round regardless of outdoor conditions.
The structure uses its partially buried design to naturally regulate interior temperature without requiring energy for air conditioning. This passive cooling method makes the building an example of sustainable botanical architecture.
