This family doesn’t just focus on home and garden; they have a home in the garden.
The Scholten family is raising the bar for plant lovers everywhere. In collaboration with students from Rotterdam University, the family of four (plus one dog) recently moved into a huge greenhouse that doubles as their home.
[Credit: Instagram]The project is part of a sustainable living initiative to see how well they fare in an experimental structure.
[Credit: Instagram]The building, which is located in Rotterdam, is mostly made of wood and glass, which is not terribly out of the ordinary for a house.
However, this one also sports an edible roof, rain tanks, and a way for the family to grow fruits and vegetables in the comfort of their own home.

Up until 2018, the family will be living in the giant greenhouse.
