Design Concept: "Agro-housing concept"

Combining high-rise apartments with a vertical greenhouse within the same building, the agro-housing concept allows tenants to produce their own food, reducing the need to travel for food and providing a green neighbourhood. The green house is equipped with a drip irrigation system and natural ventilation and heating system and offers a diversity of spaces for the benefit of its inhabitants. Featuring steel facades, this light steel structure will be prefabricated and installed on site. The project has great potential for future development of sustainable communities in urban China.
