Anyone build a greenhouse over a garage?

Just thinking about different options. I'd love to have a greenhouse to extend the growing season for mainly greens (Zone 6A) but also to get an early start on flowers and various garden plants in the springtime. We have a single-story attached garage (remainder of house is 1 1/2 stories) and the back of the garage (and house) face nearly due south. Due to the layout of the remainder of our house there is nowhere to add a lean-to greenhouse at ground level. Have spoken with an architect who thinks the garage should be able to support a second floor. Would love to do as much as possible to use passive heat in winter and probably not use the space in summer. Willing to invest more upfront to limit energy costs/waste in future.
