‘urban agriculture meets the sky.’

klorofil promotes urban agriculture through the use of ‘lost’ space in the city, mainly focusing on the use of rooftops. it is a participatory and multidisciplinary project, bringing together agriculture, gastronomy, art, science, education, architecture and urban planning.

klorofil’s final goal is the construction of a number of greenhouses on rooftops in the center of the city of brussels, incorporating multiple units: a gardening & growing unit, a restaurant & bar unit, and a multifunctional art & laboratory unit.

to gradually introduce the concept of urban agriculture using ‘lost’ space, a series of smaller-scale projects are developed, such as portable gardens and agriculture-at-home.

wherever possible and feasible klorofil’s different development stages respect the principles of recycling, passive housing and cradle-to-cradle, aiming at a minimal overall ecological footprint.
