A greenhouse from recycled windows

Looking out through the open window of a frame built from salvaged windows, with the sun low over flat open ground.

An old uPVC conservatory was coming off the back of a house, and the windows and doors were still sound. Too good for the tip, so they came out whole to be used again.

Up on the hill they went back together as a greenhouse. A timber frame built around the salvaged panels, glass on every side, set on a course of old stone.

It catches the valley now, and the sun going down behind the hills. Nothing bought new that could be found instead.
