"The project is called "Your Greenhouse Is Your Kitchen Is Your Living Room," and yes, that title is doing exactly what it promises. This isn't just a clever name. It's a modular pavilion that literally transforms from a functioning greenhouse into an open pavilion for community gatherings, and it does so in the most satisfying way possible.

"Picture this: a steel A-frame structure wrapped in polycarbonate panels that can hinge open using tension cables suspended from the top of the frame. When the sides are closed, you have a microclimate perfect for growing potatoes, green peppers, lettuce, bok choi, and various herbs. When you pull those cables and the walls lift up, suddenly you've got an airy pavilion ready to host a dinner party or a community workshop."
A steel A-frame pavilion in Guangzhou shifts between a sealed greenhouse and an open community pavilion through hinged polycarbonate walls operated by tension cables. The closed configuration creates a microclimate for growing potatoes, green peppers, lettuce, bok choi, and herbs. When opened, the structure becomes an airy venue for dinners, workshops, and gatherings. The project emerged from a grant-supported exploration of small-scale, community-based farming practices that gained traction during the COVID-19 pandemic and was installed at Fei Arts museum as a provocation about centralized food systems.
