ABOUT THE PROJECT

Ashleigh Grizzell, Adam Rosenthal, and Garrett Hulse's project was centered around the creation of renewable electricity from compostable waste through anaerobic and aerobic digestion. But instead of hiding this operation behind closed doors, away from sight, the design creates a system that exists dramatically on top of the existing building, wrapped in a transparent double skin. Showing customers and passers-by alike the extents required to deal with waste and use it for energy, providing an opportunity for education and awareness of waste.

The project is exploring the idea of optimizing energy performance through an efficient interior volume, maximizing energy generation through the external shell of an existing building, and creating an occupiable buffer zone to which a more efficient structure can begin to operate within 2030 standards, with the potential to be net zero and capture wind as energy.
