1969

The green house in Cherry Hill, Pennsylvania is designed for Mr. Herbert Green. It is located on a green hill in eastern Pennsylvania. The house looks like a spaceship that stops moving but keeps a balanced posture. The design concept of this building confirmed the experimental work of modular and building block design adopted by paul rudolph from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. The idea is to use a series of continuous and completely prefabricated standard units to create buildings through complex combinations. Rudolph called these devices "bricks of the 20th century".

In the original design, the green house is a series of folding modules predicted by the factory, and then completely assembled on site. However, due to the delay of construction and budget constraints, it has almost completely evolved into a traditional structural system field. Inside the building, space flows on a completely open plane and communicates and permeates in a seemingly strictly modular geometry. The light projected by the five skylights emphasizes the modular tip. The living space is organized into two groups of modular spaces with different sizes, with the greenhouse, the largest space in the Green House, in the middle. The greenhouse on the west side is a flowing gallery, dining room, living room and kitchen space, and the vertical connection is that the upper floor is the master bedroom, piano room, bathroom and sauna room. On the east side of the greenhouse are bedrooms, bathrooms and studios to balance the whole building. On the second floor, an overpass spans the greenhouse and connects the two wings.

The final products of the green house are wooden structure, cantilever steel beam, exposed concrete slab, dynamic modular aesthetics and unique sharp corners, which still maintain the original design concept.
