ProgrammeAdaptive reuse, tutoring facility with photo-bioreactor facade

A retrofit of the old engineering building for a tutoring business, using integrated photo-bioreactors to generate both biomass and heat as a renewable energy resource.

The system features a prototype of an urban algae farm, reimagined to show how it could fit within an existing building to harvest algae.
