The project proposes a new residential landscape that rethinks urban mass housing by embedding horizontal and vertical food production into everyday life while strengthening community through shared spaces. Each unit features mezzanines and reversed mezzanines that define collective zones: upper mezzanines support food production processes such as germination and early growth, while lower mezzanines house shared living, kitchen, and dining areas. A food production space at each unit’s entrance encourages daily interaction with cultivation. At the podium, a bazaar enables residents to buy, sell, and exchange products. Alongside a greenhouse and workshops spanning the full food cycle, the project becomes a collective living and production ecosystem.
