Netherlands: Architects design pizza hut in which vegetables can also be grown

Architect office Bloot has developed a hut-like mobile greenhouse in which pizza's can be made. The construction is used as a greenhouse in its original state. When the greenhouse is lifted up a new space is created; a wooden pizza bar appears, with a little 'ingredient garden' joined to it. Visitors can take ingredients for their pizza from these vegetables, which include herbs, courgette plants and tomato plants.

The hut consists of a construction of scaffolding tubes. The greenhouse itself is made of transparent corrugated sheets. The ingredient garden and the bar are built from reclaimed wood and the pizza oven is made of old bricks, chicken wire and clay. Rainwater is caught to water the plants.

Bloot Architecture and mypizzaoven.nl won the 'Ontwerp een huis om van te smullen' ('Design a house good enough to eat') with the design. The contest was organised by the 'Podium voor Architectuur Haarlemmermeer en Schiphol'. The temporary building will be realised in Hoofddorp on the location of the future Tudorpark.
