Vertically fresh
For this design you need to use your imagination! Imagine an unused building repurposed into a fresh market by using the vertical space available. Imagine a stroll down the road from your house planting a vertical garden which is available to the whole community to come and harvest all the fresh food they need for the week while having a good time together. Just imagine what it could do for that community and for the environment using all that carbon footprint for such a good outcome. I tried to convey my idea as best as possible with the models I had.....so use your imagination! Industrial building converted into a commercial space. Concrete levels were created and the original industrial staircase utilized.
The next pictures show the outside of the building and how it was softened by the landscaping and planting. I also shows enough outdoor space to gather around when it's time to harvest.
This picture shows the vertical space that was utilized in different levels for planting.
The industrial staircase was kept and put to good use for accessing the different levels.
See the sheer height of the building!
Different display areas and seating was created inside.
Level 1 garden.....
Level 2 garden.....

Hester,
The production building was successfully modified, and quite rationally. Looks natural.
