Urban Farming Office, a façade that needs tending.

Published 4 November 2026 · WHV

From the street, the planting at Urban Farming Office reads almost as one surface. The project records show what makes that effect possible: separate boxes, supported by a structure that lets the team arrange and replace them.

The architect describes local edible plants and an irrigation system that uses stored rainwater. Look at the building as a working arrangement. The light, plant selection, access and maintenance responsibilities matter as much as the first impression of greenery.

For another project, ask where someone can reach a planter safely, how excess water leaves it and how planting will be replaced. Those questions help separate a maintainable living façade from a feature that depends on a single opening-day photograph.
