Rooftop Greenhouses
Placing greenhouse horticulture on large-scale industrial halls, distribution centers or data centers contributes to the multiple use of space, densification of the city and makes energy exchange possible. A good example of this is the Agrotopia in Roeselare in Belgium, which was completed in 2021. A 9,000 m2 research center for urban horticulture for Inagro has been placed on a distribution warehouse of the REO vegetable auction.Vertical Farms
Van Bergen Kolpa Architects uses smart design methods for vertical farming. This means that energy and cost-efficient buildings are realized. Space is saved with double use of space and sustainable operations are created with circular principles. In addition, with the stacking of functions, programs are cleverly linked to each other. A good example of this is the 12,000 m2 Vertical Farm, Hengshui China which is completed in 2023.Horticultural experience centers
In an experience center researcher, growers and the public can get acquainted with the latest cultivation techniques in the field of vegetable growing and ornamental horticulture. A good example is the Entrance Building for the Horticultural Innovation Park in Beijing China, which we completed in 2023. Around the central hall of the building are three floors with vertical leafy vegetable and fruit vegetable cultivation, flower cultivation and a roof garden for trees and plants.
