This is beautiful! I love that you have two separate rooms, what a great idea not only for the utility uses you mentioned but also the opportunity to create variable climate profiles in one building.
The regular ol’ roof makes so much sense – I’m in a northern climate where the heat loss in the winter through a clear roof would negate any benefit, especially since the sun angle is so low that most solar gain happens through the sides anyway. On the flipside, the heat gain through a clear roof in the summer is insane, even with shade cloth and ventilation.
Thanks for the inspiration! Best of luck with the rest of the install!
