Eco Factor: Sustainable community designed to be self-sufficient in terms of power and water.
There is no dearth of architects who believe that the future of farming isn’t on land but is towards the sky, in vertical farms. Designers at Tjep have a different opinion, they’re working on farms that will not only be used to grow crops, but serve as self-reliant communities.
The Oogst Community 100 is a self-sufficient farm for 100 farmers. Food is grown in a central greenhouse and all crops that grown on the surrounding fields are for livestock. The farm is equipped with a central windmill, which generates the required amount of energy.
A well will be designed under the windmill, but for potable uses water will be collected from condensation in the greenhouse. The small-scale communities will encourage optimal interaction and ensure harmonious relationships between the inhabitants.
