There is no dearth of architects who believe that the future of farming isn’t on land but is towards the sky, in vertical farms. Designers at Tjep have a different opinion, they’re working on farms that will not only be used to grow crops, but serve as self-reliant communities.

The Oogst Community 100 is a self-sufficient farm for 100 farmers. Food is grown in a central greenhouse and all crops that grown on the surrounding fields are for livestock. The farm is equipped with a central windmill, which generates the required amount of energy.

A well will be designed under the windmill, but for potable uses water will be collected from condensation in the greenhouse. The small-scale communities will encourage optimal interaction and ensure harmonious relationships between the inhabitants.
