Fold-out urban garden concept brings nature to the smallest of spaces
For individuals and organisations alike, finding new ways to incorporate greenery into everyday living is a near-constant project. Making the most of tiny spaces often creates additional challenges. Italian architectural firm Piuarch is tackling this challenge with its urban gardener’s survival kit. The kit is a fold-out structure that expands vertically to provide an array of different functions and spaces.
Designed as part of Wallpaper* Magazine’s Re-made exhibition for Milan Design Week 2021, the garden kit concept supports a hydroponic garden complete with solar panels, charging ports, a workstation, chairs and even room to store a yoga mat. The team behind the design is considering a range of materials, with two possibilities being recyclable biocomposites and smart packaging. The company is also seeking expressions of interest from potential manufacturing partners.
