The Wallipini greenhouse is half-buried in the ground and is built like a house with:
- walls made of Adobe (mix of clay and straw),
- a framework made of wood
- a roof made using a plastic tarpaulin (agroplastico).
The Adobe walls store the heat during the day and deliver it inside the greenhouse at night. The inertia of the walls maintains an almost constant temperature inside the greenhouse. As La Paz is close to the equator, the sun is usually at zenith, the greenhouse's orientation does not really matter and the walls do not interfere with sun radiations.
