designer's own words:
Farm - kitchen
We suggest a new kitchen system not only for cooking, but also for farming.
Now we hardly see earth when we live in an apartment, because its floors are up in the air. We don't get enough chance to be with nature and touch earth.
What if we'd be able to farm some vegetables and cook them in my kitchen?
Farm-kitchen is between inside and outside of the house. Half of the inside part is a kitchen where we cook. But the other part is a farm where we can raise vegetables and flowers. Since the farm is actually located in outside we don't have to water them everytime. They'll be grown up by rain. If we need ingredients while we cook, we can just open the window and take some.
In addition, it has another option as a fishbowl. It's connected to pipe of the sink so that we can change its water easily. The connection will help the farm to drain as well.
This kitchen system may change life style of many people who live in apartments. It would help people to live closer to nature by giving a chance to look at the earth and do self-sufficiency. Also, each small farms will make a large amount of green zone in a metropolis.
