I Designed a Ranch Home That Hides a 1,400 sq ft Greenhouse

My book "A Year in Design" is available here: https://www.ungstudio.com/book What if the most ordinary house on your street was secretly growing enough food to feed the family inside it all year long? In this video, I take you through my design of the Countryside Greenhouse Ranch Home, a single-story ranch house with contemporary wood siding and a standing seam metal roof that blends into any neighborhood. But walk around back and the roof opens up to a 1,400 square foot greenhouse with a high-density hydroponic system, in-ground planting beds, and dwarf fruit trees like figs and persimmons, so the family can grow fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs through every season, even in winter. I’ll show you how this sustainable home design uses passive solar heating, deep roof overhangs, automatic ridge vents, and natural ventilation to keep the greenhouse comfortable year-round, plus a solar panel roof with battery storage that powers most of the home. We’ll walk through the full 2,000 square foot floor plan, including the open-concept kitchen with a walk-in pantry, the backyard pool and outdoor entertaining space, and an accessible bedroom suite with a roll-in shower designed for every stage of life.
