We looked into different rainscreen cladding options and decided not to go in that direction. It would severely cut back our user base to only be people who are residing their house. We want our boxes to be accessible to everyone who wants one.
We’re currently prototyping iterations of our modular trough in small, medium and large as well as an attachment bracket.

modular grow boxes
These modular boxes can be re-arranged and infinitely added to each other. It would be able to expand vertically as well as on the horizontal ground plane.

Living Curtain
This idea illustrates a fibrous material embedded with seeds. A drip irrigation system delivers nutrients for the plant to grow.

adjustable grow boxes
The adjustable grow boxes are configured to tracks along a wall. They can be re-arranged into any configuration.

solar powered rotator
Grow beds are slowly rotated by solar-powered motor in a loop, raising them toward the sun then dipping them in a water tray at the bottom of the loop to soak up water/nutrients through holes in the bottom of the grow beds.

DIY milk jug planters
This concept utilizes and repurposes common household items for a vertical growing solution.

bi-level growing platform
Here, multiple growing platforms allow for various plant types.
