Tokyo Farm Village

admin — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 13:04:49 +0000

Proposed design for an integrated urban farming village. Incorporating single residences, 3 floor apartment block, and combined aquaponics greenhouse/restaurant/education center. The modular homes and apartments are designed for affordability and include farming space. The concept it that residents can participate in the farming activities, and cooperatively produce fruits and vegetables for themselves, use in the restaurant, and for sale in local markets.

Indoor Mushroom Farm

An indoor mushroom farm in the dining room. This little organic restaurant in Ginza has a delicious lunch buffet with hearty foods and pictures of each farmer and farm above the spread. The mushrooms are grown right there, in a big humidity and temperature controlled glass box with rotating shelves like an industrial oven. Now that is truly freshness embodied.

Utah Native Village

admin — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 13:04:24 +0000

Some first draft ideas we presented to an amazing crew of people who are planning a spiritual retreat center and a sustainable farmstead in southern Utah. The long term vision is to create a village and education center open to the Native tribes in the area, to support their efforts at reestablishing traditional agriculture and provide a base for the next generation to regain self sufficiency and reconnect with the land.

Dave and his crew from Canada were at the Embassy filming a small independent film about a young backpacker coming of age in the Great North. We had a lot of fun filming in the tipi for two days and providing catering for the team. Look forward to seeing the film. Sundance or Bust!
