Urban Jungle is a coffee roastery with a café, plant nursery, and compost recycling facility. The massing model is made of concrete mixed with coffee grounds and soap, combined with leaf powder to represent the building’s relationships and programmatic content. Different concentrations of these “pigments” create varying textures on the model surface. The refined model is a developed version, showing more detail in the façade and structure.
