Retirement home

Spark's model for Asian retirement community (dezeen.com)

Named Home Farm, the design aims to tackle the main issues affecting cities in Southeast Asia. The first is that the number of people above retirement age is rapidly increasing, and the second is that the majority of food is imported rather than home grown. Spark believes both of these problems can be solved by transforming retirement communities into self-sufficient farming businesses, producing fruit and vegetables that can be sold to fund healthcare and other amenities for residents.

project was the award winner in the Future Projects: Experimental category during the World Architecture Festival 2015.
