The conducted experiments included trying different materials, ventilation arrangements and natural cleaning methods. The project focused on preserving produce without the use of electricity or synthetic materials.

2D and 3D ideation was conducted to understand proportions, ergonomics and modularity. The final concepts include a preserving and a cleaning system. The habitat provides 4 containers with metal, wood and glass lining that provide 3 ideal environments (cool/dry, cool/moist, warm/dry).

The ventilation system focused on preventing the ripening effect of ethylene gas on produce, while the materials that were selected had particular physical properties such as thermal conductivity, that made them ideal to preserve certain types of produce.

The system also includes a strainer and a brush to remove residue from produce. Both concepts were developed in CAD and prototypes were built.
