Greenhouse St. Georges Terrace, Perth – gardening not architecture » Background http://www.greenhouseperth.com From Joost Bakker, Paul Aron and Jason Chan comes a new food and drink experience in the heart of Perth... Greenhouse St. Georges Terrace. Funded by ISPT Superannuation, it is built entirely from recycled and recyclable materials, has a lightweight steel frame, straw bales as insulation, a rooftop garden to supply the kitchen and a worm farm to break down organic waste. The Greenhouse is an example of how buildings can be functional and beautiful, while leaving a tiny footprint on the earth.

Greenhouse St. Georges Terrace hopes to be one of Perth’s most exciting destinations, with the emphasis on tasty, honest food and drink, and some simple ideas for a considerate and non destructive lifestyle.

Like its predecessor, Greenhouse St. Georges Terrace has its frame made from roll formed steel coil. Its cladding and surfaces, raw and unashamed, are made from plywood and recycled plastic. Hundreds of straw-bales in the walls and ceilings provide insulation. Vertical gardens spill greenery from the walls, and an abundant roof-top garden produces fresh ingredients for the kitchen and bar, and provides a serene place to escape the rat race.

With the natural essence and quirky beauty of Joost Bakker’s design at the heart of this building, Perth’s Greenhouse offers a variety of spaces, fixtures, objects and atmospheres to warm your heart and nourish your soul.
