Our primary sources of produce generally come from hundreds of miles away where crops are grown at large farms across the country and world, harvested, packed, and shipped to local grocery stores. If we could reduce the amount of transportation to get fresh produce to our doors, we could also reduce the amount of green house emissions that result from our process of obtaining produce.

This urban residential farm combines both studio apartments for working and middle class individuals and couples to start their lives along with the ability to grow and harvest fresh produce year round. Portions of the building have a wood exterior with angled balconies that alternate on every floor. This provides opportunities for residents to meet their neighbors and grow their network.

Glass portions of the tower are dedicated green house spaces for residents to take care of the indoor farm and harvest produce when they’re ready. There are provisions for accessibility where wheel chair users can get from the lowest floor of the greenhouse space to the highest through low sloped ramps leading to each planting area.
