Design Implementation of The Strategies and Results

Food Farm

a. Programming and Layout

The program scenario mainly only serve the food farm (productive garden) with the hydroponic system. However, based on the user analyses, it would need a program that can attract people to go downstairs. Therefore, I added the market program with a mealkit ready to pick up recipe. The market itself later positioned in the center of the food farm, visually connected to the ramp connection from the community hall. It became the attraction program of the basement. To support the happening seasonal event, the furniture created in modular scenario as a counter / stall to display groceries. The other spatial affordance was the modular furniture, which allowed people to sit.

The Strategies:

- Split zoning of food farm into two part, divided by the market. The layout also have neutral space to be the flexible space accomodating eventual program (Harvest Day and Market Day)

- The Materials and Atmosphere

In the Shepparton Nutritious Hub there were two garden, the ground floor was the relaxing and education garden while the underground would be the productive garden. The system and garden function were different, therefore I decided to create a modern hydroponic garden with an ambiance of clean design with bright color apply in the middle (market). It gave another experience of garden for the user.

- The Accessibility

There were four accesses to go to the underground level, the ramp, the stairs continuation from the Community Hall, access from the carpark (drop off point) and access for bikers. These accesses from both internal and external (car and bike) made the Underground easy to access, allowed quick shopping and easy loading activity after shopping.
