Farm Design & Planning
The Hydro-Brownstone was designed aiming to provide maximum use of spaces in New York. The Brownstones are a characteristic architecture of New York, they are present all around the city and different social classes inhabit this type of structures. As the architecture is generally characterized by long ceilings and windows, the space presents a lot of potential for vertical gardens.
This NFT desgin relies on those features and utilizes natural sunlight in a way that makes the maintanance of the system more affordable. NFT systems are great for vertical gardening as they can contain several rows and they can take little width. In this sense, the NFT system is perfect for the measurements of the window sill.
