I have the kind of greenhouse you are talking about, but it is not pretty on the outside like a Botanical Garden Conservatory, its functional for the home enthusiast, LOL.

We looked into building a version of what you are describing, with glass panels, and a pretty curved roof, etc and the cost would have been over $100,000. Not affordable.

In the end we decided on functionality over beauty and got a 1700+ sq ft greenhouse with a 20 ft ceiling with all equipment included for less than 1/4 of the cost of the conservatory.

There are no benches, there is no slab. Everything is planted directly into the ground, hung from the ceiling, mounted to something, or hanging on the walls. I have had it now since 2002 and its great. I love it and work out there maybe 4 days a week.
