Greenhouse, Apartment building in Beeston, Leeds, England.
Greenhouse is an eight-story residential building in Beeston containing 172 apartments and office spaces. It features solar panels, wind turbines, and rainwater harvesting systems integrated throughout its structure.
Originally built as Shaftesbury House in 1938, the structure served as workers' housing during an era of poor living standards. It underwent complete transformation in 2010 to become the modern building that stands today.
The building brings residents together through shared green spaces and community areas designed for daily interaction. These spaces reflect a modern approach to how people live and connect with each other in a multistory home.
The building is located in Beeston and is most easily reached by tram or on foot if you are in the area. The apartments have two bedrooms each, and there are communal facilities available to all residents.
The building earned a high sustainability certification through superior insulation and an integrated energy management system. These features show how residential spaces can be created with minimal environmental impact.
