Based on the profile of the original Shade House structure on the Huntington Estate, this modern steel, aluminum and glass conservatory adapts traditional period conservatory design with a unique shape and new technology. The Conservatory has a one hundred foot wide dome central exhibition space and two connecting wings which house interactive educational displays. The conservatory has state of the art computerized environmental controls and one of the first earth tube supply air systems for passive cooling of a greenhouse environment in the country.
