Slide 1. View from the top of the knoll:
The Sumner View Orchids greenhouse is located on a small plot in Concord, California, with a view of Mount Diablo. The land is on a knoll, affording a spectacular view of the surrounding area.

Problem: Design a greenhouse to fit into a small space that will be large enough to hold enough plants to perhaps start a small business of small plants or just hold enough plants to satisfy two people. It must be small enough to not dominate the back yard or spoil the view. It must be sufficiently automatic that the caretakers can leave for up to two weeks at a time without stressing the plants.
