Urban farming on top of an old factory

We transformed the roof and sixth floor of De Schilde, a former Philips factory in The Hague, into one of Europe's largest urban farms. The Swiss company UrbanFarmers (out of business since 2018) commissioned us to complete the design for their second rooftop farm. The construction consists of a 1200 square meter greenhouse on the rooftop and 900 square meters for fish cultivation on the floor below. Together, the two areas create a perfect symbiotic system for the production of fish and vegetables in the city.
