SEOUL DESIGN AWARD

An ecological environment where people and nature coexist has been embodied into the form of an urban home.

Urban Farming Home is a 150m2, three-story living space where you can enjoy nature and simultaneously explore ecological values.

Combining technologies from architecture, science and urban agriculture, they have created a sustainable living environment that can reduce resource consumption and waste.

A circulatory system has been applied where food waste becomes organic fertilizers for urban agriculture, organic matter produced by carp in the pond becomes nutrients for plants, and plants purify the water that is fed into the pond.

Urban Farming Home has become a place for more than 300 species of plants and animals to live in harmony, and a home for bees to come build their nests.

Residents improve their emotional well-being through gardening and small-scale farming, and children learn about the circulatory nature of the ecosystem through their homes.

Urban Farming Home reduces a city’s carbon emissions and contributes towards the healthy and sustainable lives of city dwellers.
