Center and Site

A research center composed of reception area, library, plant room, bathroom, bomb shelter or protected room as well as accommodations for visiting researchers has been established in a farm building.

Greenhouses, caretaker’s quarters and a nursery format are planned to blend in to the surrounding area, altogether comprising one dunam of constructed area.

These facilities will be oriented to the sun, the prevailing winds and weather events.
The buildings will use passive and active solar energy for heating and cooling, have working gray water systems and leave as small as possible footprint on the natural vegetation and formations of the area.

The rest of the land will be planted in herbs, bushes, trees and flowers, with care so as to disturb the existing vegetation as little as possible in a series of raised beds, small gardens and integrated orchards.

Many of the plants are slow- growing and exceedingly hard to obtain. Transplanting such rare specimens is difficult, often causing serious losses. Because of this all plantings will be done for long- term growth and development in situ.
