In the port city of Matsusaka, centrally located in Japan, there is a botanical garden built by Smiemans Projects. Our HighLight greenhouse was chosen for its unique shape. This greenhouse was built in an English garden in the city centre.

Special requirements in Japan

The greenhouse meets all Japanese requirements, and of course earthquakes must be taken into account. We specialise in designing and building high-quality glass structures for botanical gardens, zoos and garden centres, among others. Known for iconic projects around the world such as RHS Wisley, Wildlands Zoo and Flora Cologne, we combine innovation, craftsmanship and sustainable design to deliver exceptional results.

Expert in botanical greenhouse construction

Many botanical gardens rely on us to create glass structures that support and protect fragile plant life. From butterfly gardens to cultivation and exhibition greenhouses, each project is uniquely designed to create the ideal growing conditions for rare and exotic species.

By carefully controlling the climate zones (temperature, humidity and light) plants thrive in an environment that mimics their natural habitat. These energy-efficient greenhouses not only ensure optimal plant health, but also provide a sustainable, inviting space where visitors can connect with nature.
