Winning design of ICONIC DESIGN AWARDS 2013
[design concept]
We designed the visitor center and landscape as a destination to promote the quality and safety of our client’s horticultural products directly from grower to consumer. 4 key phrases that promise the best quality of their produce were given to us to help with the concept of the center;
“Guarantee the most nutritious products”
“Surprise with the highest quality”
“Nurture health with confidence”
“Satisfy with the best taste and price”
We designed each floor of this facility with a different concept in mind. On the ground floor, there is a food court and souvenir shop, ‘Farmer’s Garden’ and an indoor orchard, ‘Edible Garden’. Upper floors include the main exhibition hall to showcase advanced agri-cultural technology, a classroom to teach children how to cook and the importance of food materials, a specialized library and a lecture hall for people who are especially interested in agriculture from a business perspective.
