Mott Haven Community Vertical Farm & Living Center
Community Vertical Farm This was a group project. Working with an established community land trust in the Bronx and in tandum with our real estate class we designed an apartment complex in Mont Haven, South Bronx. The housing units were located on the exterior and surrounded a for-profit vertical farm, a farmers market, a biology and botany education lab, and a greenhouse. All of this was designed in order to help the local community by providing jobs, low-income housing, STEM education, and a localized food source that eliminated its status as a food desert and elevated the local community.
