ROOF BAR
temporary restaurants
Space is rented out in flexible / short-term periods as an aordable way to run a restaurant. The restaurants are plug-n-play- they branch o utility connections from the cores of the building.
kitchens
When restaurants are not rented out, they can become rentable space for those who seek a commercial kitchen to conduct their business, such as caterers. Other kitchens also transform into gastronomy labs and test kitchens,
compost
Building core includes waste chutes for compost and recyclable waste. Collected organic waste is collected and treated through vermicomposting and used to fertilize the fields surrounding the site.
