The hydroponic wall is the key feature that distinguishes the new pavilions’ façade.
The courtyard sits between the new and old sections of the house.
The design of the Hydroponic House retains the overall form of the previous building to minimise reconstruction work, while introducing new pavilions to meet the owner’s needs.
