Melbourne – As part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, sustainable designer Joost Bakker has created The Greenhouse, a pop-up restaurant that grows its own ingredients and runs off the grid.
The restaurant takes a holistic approach to sustainability. The structure is made from reclaimed materials, the building is not reliant on mains electricity or water, and urine is harvested to create fertilizer to grow plants for the following year’s Greenhouse.
