A farm INSIDE a Tokyo office building...

...including a full-size rice paddy!




This is incredible and quite beautiful I think! Not the most efficient use of energy, but the concept is great. I wonder what do they do with the harvest? And I'd like to know if the building was purpose built for this or was it designed into an existing building? I just love the idea of designing office buildings that can also feed the workforce.
