The construction of the greenhouse at the foot of Ještěd mountain is a lightweight wooden structure with a semi-transparent casing. Its levitating position does not disturb the surrounding nature, which runs undisturbed around and under the greenhouse. The tent roof made of tarpaulin complements the symmetrical composition of the main mass and responds in exaggeration to the ubiquitous peak of Jested. It is an economical self-built structure.
The dimensions of the greenhouse at the foot of Ještěd mountain are 8.2 / 4.1 m, the height of the greenhouse is 4.55 m. The supporting structure is wooden, larch, the glazing consists of Rodeca translucent thermal insulation panels with aluminium anchor profiles. The roof is tented, made of tarpaulin, occasionally it is turned off with a screw spike. The entrance to the greenhouse will also be covered with tarpaulin.
