dutch born environmentalist/builder joost bakker has brought his 'greenhouse' to circular quay. its previously popped up in melbourne and perth and now its sydneys turn.
the cafe/bar is self-sustaining and everything is made from recycled materials, including the cafe its self which is in a used shipping container with conveyor belts for floors and jam jars as wine glasses.
milk comes directly from the farm so that yogurt and cheese can be made on site. the vegetables and herbs are grown on the roof of the cafe which also holds a worm farm to compost food scraps.
there is graffiti on the walls, a roof top bar and wooden cutlery. the whole thing is magical and a big cheers to you joost! lets hope in the future architects and builders take a note from your book!
