The glass and metal “sepals” of the sculptural Glasshouse by British designer Thomas Heatherwick can be seen unfolding in this short video filmed at Woolbeding Estate in England.
Located in the gardens of the historic property in West Sussex, the Glasshouse is a sculptural and kinetic greenhouse filled with 300 species of subtropical trees and plants.
It is constructed of ten steel and glass components that Heatherwick Studio describe as “sepals” – leaves that protect the buds of growing flowers.
