Farm & Market

LOCATION: DENVER, CO

Farm & Market is a groundbreaking hydroponic farm and restaurant in Denver, challenging traditional farming methods Utilizing less than 10% of the water used in conventional farming, the 3,000-squarefoot farm produces 100,000 pounds of produce annually and operates 100% wind-powered and chemical-free The design integrates two climate-controlled showcase farm rooms into a welcoming dining environment, ensuring the goal of on-site, fresh food The adaptive reuse of an outdated structure into a working hydroponic farm and restaurant posed challenges especially maintaining controlled conditions year-round in Denver's variable climate The design team at OZ created transparency on two sides of the farm with full-glass walls at the storefront and in the interior The design leans into the high-tech nature of the farm, celebrating the pink grow lights nurturing plants while allowing direct consumer access to daily harvests This custom-designed flagship restaurant can now act as a springboard for replicability in markets nationwide.
