“Sky Farm” – hanging spheres growing food

Designer’s solution for the minimalistic space that’s available for growing food

By Manuel Dreesmann

With the growth of cities, the height of the buildings is rising. And so there are less gardening spaces but more balconies. So my idea is to use this minimal space on the balcony to grow your own food. But most of the balconies offer small space for gardening. The space on the floor is mostly needed for placing your chair and tables. But they offer a lot of unused space above your head. This is the space for the skyfarm!

The skyfarm consists of a moulded acrylic sphere where you can grow your delicious herbs for dinner. Its attached to the ceiling of your balcony. With a simple pull, the height can be adjusted. Whether it might be over the head for a nice talk with your friends on the balcony, or spread over the whole height during your vacation.
