At the lowest floor level, rainwater will be retained with the use of aquaponic pants, while the higher level is filled up with edible garden, made up of planters of various species such as Aloe vera, Pak Choi, Sweet Basil, Angled gourd and Gac Fruit. They can be cultivated within 1-2 months, and cooked at the co-kitchen situated at the north part of the site. To fully create a delightful atmosphere, Perennials are grown, scattered around the site as well.
