Nature-inclusive building with greenhouse technology
How can we make cities more livable without losing sight of nature?
Forzon, a group company of Deforche Construction Group, offers a solution to this question. Through a smart and thoughtful application of greenhouse technology, Forzon is committed to nature-inclusive building: an approach that improves the quality of life for both people and nature in highly urbanized environments.
By incorporating the unique properties of greenhouses into architectural designs, buildings can be transformed into spaces that create a harmonious connection between the interior and exterior.

The power of transparency: nature as part of the building
Forzon’s greenhouses are much more than aesthetic additions to a building. By using transparent glass walls and roofs, an abundance of natural light is created, along with a direct visual and physical connection to the outside environment. This turns glasshouses into true transition zones between urban life and nature, encouraging residents to feel more connected to their surroundings.

Smart climate management for a thriving ecosystem
Inside these greenhouses, controlled climate conditions can be utilized to promote biodiversity, for example by encouraging the growth of native plants and vertical gardens. At the same time, the smart use of greenhouse technology contributes to sustainability through passive heat recovery and rainwater harvesting systems, which not only make the building more sustainable but also provide irrigation for plants. These green living spaces also offer a safe habitat for birds, butterflies, and other small animals, while water features in the greenhouse encourage the arrival of amphibians and insects
-
Green as a meeting place
Forzon also addresses the social and educational aspects of greenhouses. By designing greenhouses as communal gardens or meeting spaces, they offer residents the chance to collaborate, learn about sustainability, and directly benefit from growing vegetables, fruits, and herbs. These multifunctional spaces contribute to food security and foster a sense of community.
By combining controlled climate conditions with innovative greenhouse technology, we create green living spaces that promote biodiversity and contribute to a more sustainable urban future.

Space that adapts to the seasons
Thanks to their adaptable design, greenhouses can easily adjust to seasonal changes. In the winter, they serve as protected, heated greenhouses; in the summer, they become airy, shaded spots for relaxation. This versatility makes them a valuable addition to any building throughout the year.
With an innovative and environmentally responsible approach, Forzon uses greenhouse technology to set a new standard in urban architecture, where nature is not only incorporated but actively strenghtened, allowing people and nature to live in balance.
