- My Vision for Sustainable Living
- Our regenerative habitat “The Plant Room” is an inner-city retrofit project that will generate energy, collect water, recycle waste and grow food whilst addressing urgent housing needs. It includes a series of linked outdoor “rooms” to enliven, improve and extend an existing building. Bolt-on elements will be configured to provide four typologies that build upon each other: micro - an edible garden window box, mini - a balcony space, midi - an outdoor room and maxi - a communal space.
We will be using “living” and eco-system services to improve the existing building fabric as well as being a catalyst for change in the surrounding area.
