The construction of the greenhouse at the foot of Ještěd Mountain features a lightweight wooden structure with a semi-transparent casing. Its elevated position does not disturb the surrounding nature, which flows undisturbed around and beneath the greenhouse.
The tent roof, made of tarpaulin, complements the symmetrical composition of the main structure and exaggerates the form of the iconic Ještěd peak. This is an economical self-built structure. The greenhouse measures 8,2 by 4,1 meters, with a height of 4,55 meters. The supporting structure is made of larch wood, while the glazing consists of Rodeca translucent thermal insulation panels with aluminum anchor profiles. The roof is tented and constructed from tarpaulin, which can be temporarily removed using screw spikes. The entrance to the greenhouse is also covered with tarpaulin.
