green house

Made of sustainable cedar, it is contemporary but would fit into any outdoor setting. You can choose the size of the building, and the number of screens and planters.

The planters can fit on the outside and the inside. Designed by architects, they also do an ecospace
which is a small modular structure that can sit at the end of your garden and serve as a studio, hideaway or office. It has a green roof system that can be planted with grass or sedum, recycled rubber flooring and light wood walls.

i like the idea of it being set back into the concrete/stone... perhaps it has wing walls and a platform area like the second image.

They use Amish builders, which is kinda cool and Robert says it will
take about 6 weeks from the time a final design is received.

He has quoted a ballpark $44,692 based on gracie's sketch; built offsite
and moved onto a slab. They can do the slab too, but so can the guy
who is doing the retaining wall

The earth mover/retaining wall builder is
Marc Palmer
802-436-3178
It will be really expensive to use boulders or even natural rock to
do a wall this size, so Marc suggests a structural formed concrete
block that he can buy from Carroll Concrete . The residential product is not too bad: see
it at www.redirockne.com/residential.php
