Overview

Two greenhouse pavilions were designed as new construction to complement and connect with a larger conservatory, the Palm House, originally built in Baltimore’s Druid Hill Park in 1888. Specifications for the new greenhouses were written from the Palm House renovation window specs in order to echo the dimensioning, design and rhythm of the older, main conservatory structure.

Project Highlights
