Apt building includes a greenhouse for each unit
I love plants and gardens, and so living in an apartment stifles me a little. But that wouldn't be the case if I lived in this apartment complex design from Knafo Klimer. It's called Agro-Housing and it's their answer to the crowded city populations in China. It combines a high-rise apartment building with an attached high-rise greenhouse -- residents are encouraged to grow their own food in each apartment's assigned area of greenhouse. Plus the greens will serve to reduce air pollution, energy consumption, and water waste.
Right now it's all just a concept, but I'm willing to bet that it either comes to life in it's current form or one really similar. Very cool.
