InternoVerde, final project - 2010

Final concept.
 
InternoVerde is a vertical system with linear and minimal design: HDPE (High Density Poly-Ethylene) boxes holding vegetables are blocked at adjustable height on steel cables. These cables are fixed on the ceiling by stay rods and on the ground by a base. The base is still in HDPE with a tank in SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile) to contain water and nutrient solution which is pumped into the vegetables boxes through an internal pump and a little pipe. Here the solution nourishes the plant by drip irrigation. 
The whole system is 300 cm in height – depending on the ceiling -, 52 cm wide and 41 cm deep for the base and 7,4 cm deep for the vegetables boxes. 
Base with removable water tank and LED strips on top to light up the plants.
